Not sure it balances out, as the price went up.....

 

They used to add features to make the product more attractive, now they are deleting features, been going on for a few years. And it will continue as long as we keep buying bikes. Bottom line is the Bottom Line, they answer to the stockholders now (and how many of you own HD stock), NOT us, the customers. My '14 will be my last new Harley...

 

My '14 will be my last one too. It's my 7th since 2001, but I'm sick of quality issues, reliability issues, and ever increasing prices to the point where you can buy a very good, fully loaded CAR for the price of a CVO limited, and it won't break down at low miles.

 

Yea, my '17 will take me into my retirement years. I love my bike and it would be starting all over again getting a new one the way I want it. They hit me up to make an offer on a trade earlier this year - my bike and 10k get's me on a '19 RGU. No thanks!

 

The map updates are worthless, too many roads are not updated to pay for updates. Would be nice if there was an app that had gps and weather. Could be worse, BMW cars have to pay fee to use Apple Car Play. That may be next year for Harley.

 

Sirius XM has a traffic and weather option, I think it's $2-$3 a month on top of the subscription. The weather app works VERY well and has gotten me around many storms, the traffic app works very well too. Definitely worth a couple of bucks a month to me...

 

Sounds like a project for the new Brand "expert"... The car companies are adding new features every year, but to not DELETE other features to pay for the new ones...

Nah... I bet he makes HD come up with a self riding bike like Beemer did so they can market to the Snowflake generation. Wait... An electric self riding bike. There, that's it.
