Didn't the Americans learn anything from Pearl harbor? The Japs have some nice machines that just happen to kick american ass..
Just saying.
-D
Apparently not.
Harley will eventually find itself where it's almost been several times...out of business.
Why? Because you can't repackage the same old stuff year after year, sorry, I mean decades after decades;
and not expect the bubble to bust eventually. The same old Harley fans, and new ones can't continue buying all the new bikes.
Look how the market is flooded with used Harleys.
Harley's latest gimmick is...smaller engines!!! Oh, and candy paint!
Combine that with swapping fenders and calling it a whole different model, and Bam! Awesomness!
To each there own, but if sportbikes followed the same path as Harley, sportbikes would've been gone years ago.
Or, we'de all be paying $20k for that elusive 1995 gsxr, and adding the latest and greatest aftermarket parts.
Sorry, I've just really grown to hate the whole Harley image. Hard core bikers ride Harleys, and that's fine.
The other 90% are the guys/gals that have to have Harley stickers on everything they own, Harley on every piece of clothing. Ride their Harley 15 minutes to the local restaurant rally, and hang out making noise and talking about how awesome their Harley is. Then, on to the next bar, and repeat.
Wow, how cool.
Isn't this a Hayabusa/sportbike site? If you like Harleys fine, but they have forums too.
That way you can talk more Harley stuff...AND, keep the miles off your Ultra Fat Wide Springer Glide with limited edition paint and front fender!
