Harley-Davidson unveiled its brand new 2014 motorcycle range yesterday as it introduced the innovative enhancements that project RUSHMORE will bring to the new line-up.
The 2014 range of the world’s favorite bike is Harley-Davidson’s biggest relaunch in 100 years. Project RUSHMORE includes eight fantastic new models, all designed to be customer-driven, with enhanced braking, ergonomics, and style.
In a press release from Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada, as published on Yahoo.com yesterday, Scott Habegger from Harley Davidson is quoted: “Project RUSHMORE has been touched by thousands of people, most of them being our customers and our employees,” said Scott Habegger, Harley-Davidson Director of Motorcycle Planning. “The voice of the customer is represented not just up front, but throughout the process. In our product development process, we gather input and ideas at formal focus groups, but also at all the events we attend, at our demo rides, sometimes just talking to that rider or passenger sitting on the next stool at a diner. In addition, Harley-Davidson dealers provide valuable input. We then take our ideas and solutions back to customers as prototypes and get more feedback before settling on a final design. With these inputs approved, we are then able to get into production very quickly. We really feel that we are in this together as riders.”
