Missed that one on the list without soul. Can't agree that it should be there either.

New Harleys to me have no soul. They have great marketing, but they are just as cookie cutter as the Japanese V-twins that have copied them. Loud pipes and chrome don't give it a soul. Other than the V-rod they've done nothing innovative in years. To really have soul I think a modern motorcycle needs to do something very different than other bikes.
New KTM's have soul.
Some of the new BMW's appear to have soul, but I've not been near enough to actually know.
