The Harley is good marketing, not good engineering. The Vespa is both good
engineering and marketing. Over 15 million are made to this date.
Harley engineering: If it needs to be stronger, we make it bigger. If that
makes it ugly, we chrome it.

/Jorgen - rides a Vespa too, which celebrates it´s 40 year birthday today
(1962 model).
