looks like Harley is getting serious about going racing.
AMA Class C, Flat track

The new bike is based on the 750 Street (you know the one we make fun of)
I wonder how long before what they learn racing gets into the street bikes?
I do believe racing improves the breed. Look at all the stuff that came over to street bikes from MotoGP and other racing.
I do wonder what direction they will take the 750 Street.
We're seeing Polaris braking new ground and I wonder if HD will be on their heels?
Here's a couple good reads:

I went to a race once, it was fun and impressive. I had a friend that had been a flat track racer when he was younger (he was older than me) and he was also the Harley service rep for the east coast. He only had one bike when I knew him and it was a Kawasaki 550. He refused to ride in town because it was too dangerous. Isn't that a hoot?
