Angry ginger Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Harley is making the best products they Ever have. Nothing they do is attracting the youth to riding and the boomers already went through their Harley phase. The company will continue to shrink production here and offshore production to where the products sell. All businesses need to evolve over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their prices are nuts. But they are comfy. More factors than just speed. I want a scout but hear they’re uncomfortable for long distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the rugged individual look....all while looking identical to every other swinging dick on the road. Its like a uniform ffs. My peeve are these idiots who've never owned a bike their entire life and they go right out and buy a Fatboy or a Road King and throw 5 grand worth of chrome on it. Its a miracle more of them aren't road rashed given how shitty most of those things handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs some final drive repair, brakes, and bearings. Cosmetically it’s a disaster. Perfect for the Alaskan trip. Motor and trans are strong.

Motor and trans are strong. thats perfect I am gonna pick up something here sooner or later. I never should have sold that R1100r I had, I think I only paid around 5 grand for it, and it had less than 10,000 miles on it. Thing would have lasted me forever, and I could have driven it to Alaska if I wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a zillion of them on the market not sport glides, very few out there as they have only been sold a couple of years. I think 18 was first year street glides on the other hand are a dime a dozen and maintain a whopping 60%+- of sticker after 3 years. Plus maybe 25 cents on the dollar for the 5-10k people add to them in stuff. Still get the yearning for a victory CC sometimes but the thrill of being killed is no longer fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Harley gets niggardly and starts blowing bikes out for long term zero interest maybe I’ll buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a 3 year old Harley for 60% and ride it for 5 years, you'll get a good chunk of your money back. Around here you can't buy a bagger for less than $10k unless its 10+ years old. Plenty of low mile 3-6 year old bikes out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
