...Davidson bikes be judged? What I mean is won't the current owners of the big twin HD Bikes be looked upon in a negative matter that they are the leading cause of wasting fuel, contributing to pollution and global warming?
Everybody else is driving fuel efficient cars and trying to save the planet from destruction, but the Harley Davidson bikes that get maybe 25 MPG and spit out toxic C02 mixed with oil from the exhaust.
Will there be protests where people will take sledge hammers and smash those horrible HD's?
 
the average person will not be driving hybrids that get 100mpg 5 years from now. But when hybrids do become that popular with that high of mileage HD will make a hybrid engine. YOU KNOW ITS TRUE.
 
They probably wouldn't be looked upon in a negative manner because there will always be a group of people who like the more classical things.
 
In 5 years, I still won't be able to afford a hybrid. At least, I still won't want to pay that much, Most hybrids are over priced. I'm sticking with my compact until the auto companies get it together and start building small hybrids and hybrid town cars.

Hybrids are a 20 year prospect, not a 5 year prospect.

In 5 years maybe 50% of Americans will still be driving their current car, or will be driving a regular used car, for pure cost reasons. Hybrids won't make up more than 20% of the market, max.

HDs are an all American icon, and are often a recreational vehicle owned in addition to a regular auto for everyday use. People will still buy them and will still support them, and they will be judged exactly as they are today. People will see them and will wish that they A) Had one B) Looked good on one.
