I don't think Gen X/Gen Y is the age bracket they're shooting for with this campaign, I think they're shooting for little kids. Which is fine, get 'em aware of the brand early (though if they live in a Harley family, it's not likely that they won't be aware of the brand from an early age).

It dumbfounds me why Harley won't do the obvious.........sell something sharp for 5-6K.
Someone in here awhile back had an idea about smaller displacement replicas of vintage models.
I think that would work well myself and get more people interested. The number 1 reason the younger gen doesn't buy Harleys is the price.

Are you listening, Harley?
