{Alan: edited due to user request} ...  With these bikes from HD and the Bolt from Yamaha it looks like every one is going for the young rider. I hope they don't forget us old guys with old bodies that have to put comfort ahead of cool looks.

So are the new HD's metric bikes?

Define metric Bear?  The bikes for the US market will be built here.  Bikes for the other markets will be built in China.

I am not putting HD down it was my understanding that all new models of bikes had to use metric measurements.
