Like Harley. Few engines and frames, many many models.

Compare Harley to any of the Japanese brands and you immediately see the difference. The Japanese offer you many very distinct models and they try to compete with every range, developing flagships from cruisers, sportsbikes, trail bikes etc...With Harley, you have just the one, but they're making a killing with it.

It's highly commendable that both Harley and Rolex are able to focus on such few model lines and yet, are able to develop such a huge following. Very risky business model for sure since you're basically putting all your eggs in one basket.

I'm actually amazed with the DJ shape/line in particular. From that one shape, you have a range of sizes and "models" from small, mid, AK, DJ, Explorer, Milgauss, DDII.
