I saw (and heard!) lots of Harleys tinGermany the last time I was there....they seemed to be quite popular.

Maybe they'd prefer a Harley?

I've met a couple Harley owners in town. They loved their bikes. I use the past tense because they are both buried in the local cemetery. One was a real hard core biker who rode his bike over the edge of some new road construction. He lost control and slid underneath a tanker truck traveling on the opposite side of the road. The other guy was the owner of a favorite local gun shop. He was a newbie. His love affair with the bike lasted two days before the mortician went to work on him.

I was an avid biker as a teen. I'm lucky to be alive after laying the bike down at 85 MPH in a flat track type turn. My Honda CB175 didn't have enough ground clearance and the dirt road crowned in the middle of the turn. It wasn't real serious. I just ripped all the ligaments around my right knee. It's amazing how much the lower part of your leg weighs when it is only supported by the thigh muscles. Five weeks in a cast made marching season in the high school band a real treat. Having electric start on that bike saved the day. There was no way I could have started it otherwise.
