Nope. And, by the way, there’s no industry figures body, so motorcycle sales numbers are up in the air for debate. Harley’s numbers have been questioned and found wanting by analysts for a few years now.

That said, all Harley owners are a**holes.

Simple check:

All bikers wave at each other as they pass, regardless of ths bike marque they are riding, unless they are newbies or busy riding. Most will at least do a V-for-victory off the left handgrip.

Except Harley owners.

Scooter riders often won’t because most of them are newbies. Or because their little nervous mounts need more attention because of their tiny wheels - but you’ll get more waves from scooter riders than Harley riders.

You’ll get waves from Indian riders, Victory riders, random custom chopper riders... but not “gen-u-wine” H-D riders.

You might get one or two IF you’re also on a Harley, but more often than not, Harley owners won’t wave to other Harley owners.

So, here’s the check: Go to a city where there are many bikers. Rent a Harley. Drive around. Count the number of waves you get and note who you get them from.

Then rent something not Harley and repeat.

You’ll get more waves from the snobby BMW riders than you will Harley riders in EITHER case.

Harley riders are also the only ones so insecure that they will beat up a fellow rider because he’s NOT riding a Harley, and for no other reason. (Happened to me at a rest stop, they weren’t expecting a gun and a cattle prod. Idiots.) And they’re proud of it.

Of course, there's always this explanation as to why Harley riders don't wave:
