Harley has a bigger problem than the Buells.
The bike owners have willingly priced their rides outside the range of most buyers.
Harley bubble is bursting.
Harley is also moving it’s York, PA plant down south. Of course, Fast Eddie Rendell is doing all that he can to keep them in PA.
Erik Buell started this company 26 years ago in a garage and put his all into it. Watch this video, and you’ll have a hard time not breaking up too:
Great American enterprise, while this may be necessary that doesn’t make it any less painful. The problem is, you can’t give sport bikes away these days, and as others have said, HOG has bigger problems. A shame.
Union workers and a Democrat-run state, not a good combination for any business.
DUCATI!
I have owned a few Jap crotch rockets. Now that I’m, “All growed up” I would like to get into a cruiser/traditional style bike. Much as I would love to purchase a Harley, they have just priced themselves out of the market. Not too mention I want to be a rider not a mechanic. It’s too bad, I would like to support an American company but it’s most likely I will buy a Jap clone like a Kawasaki Vulcan. 1/4 the price, twice as reliable and half the maintenance. It’s a no-brainer. Harley Davidson has become like a diamond ring on Liz Taylor’s finger. Big, gaudy, expensive and ultimately worthless.
