2018 GTR: related bikes???
« on: November 02, 2017, 10:45:45 AM »
So I was doing a search to see if any of the 2018s had made it to market yet and came across motorcyclist dot com.  Nothing new to add but then I scroll down to the bottom of the page and see links to 8 “related” bikes.  7 Harleys and a Star???  Those aren’t even closely related!  Like comparing foot massages to going down on the holiest of holies!  LMAO

What pisses me off is that there aren't any Indians there.

They don't know what they are doing or it is just a stupid relation of "touring" because they don't comprehend there is a category that is MUCH different called "sport touring".

At lease half of those (the 4 on the bottom) are the exact same bike. Different windscreens, colors, spokes do not make for a different bike. The CVO Limited has a trunk. If you put a Givi trunk on a C14 is it no longer a C14?

That c14 ad is pretty proud of its horsepower numbers.
