Yes, and in typical Harley owner fashion, you TOTALLY missed the sarcasm in that statement. Didn’t you notice the ludicrously long and fake model number?
The point is that Harley doesn’t sell bikes, they sell a “lifestyle”, much like Toyota does with the Prius. Their bikes are almost all retro cruisers, and their idea of a new model is to paint an old one all black and sell it as a “Night” model. Yes, I know there are different designs, but when Harley goes out of their way to advertise that their bikes look just like their 40s models, well....
Harley doesn’t own 70% of the market now. And hasn’t since the 60s. Harley may have that much of the *cruiser* segment, but overall Honda stomps them. Worldwide? Honda stomps them.
BTW, IIRC, the poster said he got it for $1500 less, not $1500.
