“If they build a sound enough bike”

The EU has sound emission rules which means neither Polaris or Harley are big sellers overseas as it is.

I wasn’t aware of that.

It seemed to me they might sell (particularly Harley) based on identity/image appeal.

Just in case, I did mean a solid or well put together bike.

Harley was the first to put mufflers on bikes. Now the first thing a buyer of a Harley does is rip off the mufflers!

US has sound rules, too, depending on the state...
