HD is low quality, high price.

Who wants to pay the price of a mid-sized car ($27,000) for a motorcycle?

I ride BMW Adventures at that price, but I get much, much more than anything HD offers.

An HD bike should be about $14,000 at most.

Harley’s are just expensive cosplay accessories.

There was also that stupid policy HD had for a few years where they gave full value for used HD’s traded in for new HD’s. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

And Norton is making a slow comeback.
The 961 engine is an American design, carried over from the previous US owner...

I visited with a new Triumph owner at a local gas station earlier this spring.
he explained the bike was powered by a three cylinder, liquid cooled, 2300 CC engine. Wow !

Millennials aren’t into riding hogs. ........................ The Brando types are getting too old now, the snow flakes aren’t into it because the bikes are too macho. The Boomers are probably at the trike and Can-Am stage now, soon to be followed by the walker. The old “wild ones” are disappearing, don’t know many over 90 still ridding. The Easy Rider generation are probably riding Honda Gold Wings. HD hypes their product alot, I was, in my yoot years, a big Indian, with fender skirts, fan. Now I ride a recliner.
