i'm seeing harleys more and more as status symbols- on par with escalades and hummers, high in price but lagging in innovation.
i don't (personally) know anyone under 35 with a harley. probably because of the cost of them anymore.
You would think the young guys on the insanely powerful crotch rockets would be the ones having more accidents.
I wonder what the deal is?
harleys are "high in price but lagging in innovation"
new 1584cc engine in 2007
6 speed trans in 2006
EFI on all Sportsters in 2005
larger rear wheels, etc. in 2004
etc., etc.
We buy HOGs for the style and comfort, they are made very well in USA, its easy to critisize harley owners but most of these people would be afraid to ride one at 70 mph,
