Answer 2

Contrary to what a lot of people think, Harley-Davidson doesn't have a styling department or an engineering department anymore. Since they haven't changed the style of the bike or it's engineering in 50 years. However H-D employees 8000 people in it's marketing department so that they can sell the "lifestyle".

Im not a big fan of the vrod but it is a revolution for the motor company for the first time in 40 years both of these departments were allowed to create rather than just copy what had been done for years most particularly engineering just the stories of the development of the exhaust and radiator and frame were riviting its nice to see willy G and the boys breaking new ground for a change hope it leads to a bike i actually like thanks
