Hey, we saw a Chinese manufacturer making parts for Harley a decade ago.\u00a0 But the recent news is this is going to be a complete small bike, just over 300cc. \u00a0 I’m surprised Harley didn’t do this several years ago, but then, Gresh and I were in the catbird’s seat on the small bike thing from the gitgo.\u00a0 CSC<\/a> and Zongshen were way ahead of the curve on this one.\u00a0 Dollars to donuts says that the small Harley will find its way to the US, and that’s a good thing.\u00a0 I’ve seen the photos and I think it looks good.\u00a0 I’m waiting for the inevitable jokes and the anti-China rants to start, but Harley, if you’re reading this, ignore those folks.\u00a0 The only thing worse than a smartass is a dumbass, and anyone who criticizes a motorcycle based solely on its Chinese origin is most definitely in that latter category.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/exhaustnotes.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/600-Enfield-2-Page.jpg\")
