Why do Harley-Davidsons look the same in 2010 as they did in 1970?

Asked by EgaoNoGenki (1164points) January 8th, 2010

Why don’t they change their headlamp shape and body style like the Honda Gold Wing and Kawasaki Ninja did?

Why do Harleys still have to look old-fashioned?

Why haven’t I seen even one Harley with a SQUARE headlamp? Why are they all the antiquated circular shape?

This is a 1970 Harley

This is a 2010 Harley

I promise that if the 2010 model traveled back to 1970, it would not at all look weird to the locals. This hog would fit right in with the past.

By the way, what is the most futuristic-looking Harley you can find? Please link us to an image. Thanks.
