Several dealers have told me that when cruiser guys come in early in the spring to buy a bike, they have done all their research, know what they want and know how much they will be paying for it.

On the other hand, they say, sports bike guys typically come in later in the spring and ask, "Which bike is the fastest?" Dealers make a lot of money off of the crotch rocket guys.

I know speed sells but when you buy a Harley you are buying a piece of artwork. Yea they have some manufacturing problems but most Harley riders aren't your average biker, they take pride in what they own. The crotch rockets are popular because they are cheap and that's all the kiddies can afford. Harleys don't lose value as fast as other bikes.
