Default Hyosung/ATK co-branding at H-D Dealers

I know this is old news but it still pisses me off that Harley cut Buell and will now use up showroom on Korean cruisers branded as an ATK. Isnt H-D supposed to be all patriotic?

I'd laugh but it's really sad that they replaced Buell with Hyosung...

I think it's PERFECT! AND I will be delighted to point it out whenever anyone riding a Harley ever tries to pull that 'Jap crap' on me too!!

I'm astounded they're willing to actually market those pieces of total shit.

No. Harley marketing is all patriotic. The actual bikes have had foreign parts on them for years.

If you meant "It works" then I agree. I just think it is disingenuous to sell that "Made in the USA" "Buy American" idea when parts on the bike aren't. The only thing that surprises me is that they didn't take the Hyosung/ATK bikes and repaint/rename them "Stars and Bars Specials" or something.
