What ya mean establishment? Star is a new badass Japanese motorcycle company, ain't it? Wait a minute! I thought the guys that rode Japanese motorcyles hated all that Harley tough guy stuff. Anytime I see a commercial for Star, there are all kinds of psudo-toughs with arms crossed, tats showin, and vests and everything. Chrome, hardtails, and custom paint everywhere. They now promote everything they hated about the Harley lifestyle, but are now dying to copy. Just think, 25 years ago Honda and Yamaha (I meant Star, cough, cough) told Harley that the V-Twin was an inferior design! Now 75% of their U.S. business is based on inferiority. They sure been fillin up on crow over the last 20 years!

I guess you missed the commercial where all the Star 'tough guys' are showing off thier bikes. Maybe I can find it online for ya. You missed the press release because you ain't old enough to remember. Honda and Yamaha were the leaders in telling Harley in 1982 that the reason they were going under was because of producing the inferior V-Twin motor. Not that dumping had anything to do with it.

This one is for iamz. You know, the guy that knows everything. So Star doesn't use the tough guys for advertising eh? Why don't you look at THIS and then say "I'm wrong again" very loudly so we can all hear you.
