Harley's future according to Fortune magazine. For your reading pleasure...

 

It's time to throw out the baby with the bath water.. Think we all suspected it would come to this. Part of the supply and demand, who and who can't buy a new Harley. Realistic prices would bolster sales but some are quick to say... prices are already as low as they can be.. No body wants to back up these days so here we set in a world of profit grabbing companies and Harley being one of them

 

33 years old. Maybe I'm bursting the demographic bubble, but I love my Harley, and I know two other guys in my unit who ride and are dedicated to their proud pieces of American iron. I'm proud the flag on my shoulder and the men and women who built my bike. Just my .02

 

Yea, well you'd think they would jump at the work and get my tank and fender painted and sent, so my dealer can put my wrecked bike back together. They were ordered 3 months ago.

 

Just more of the "liberal progressive bullcrap" we have to put up with everyday. That guy needs to attend some of the rallies and see who's riding those Harleys. Lots of young guys and gals where I'm at( with some old farts mixed in).

 

Do you think the author of the article has even sat on a Harley, or interviewed the CEO of Harley or talked to a Harley rider. I am guessing probably not, the same thing has been written many times over by numerous experts. A few years ago the experts were predicting that the stock maket would by around 20,000 by now.

 

HD probably sells more new Harleys than Fortune sells magazines.

 

I guess Fortune hasn't heard of the baby boom generation.

The average everything person is getting older.

Just a rehash of the same article that's been written and rewritten for years.

 

["The 60-70-year old riders have trouble lifting a leg over the seat because of arthritis. And finger joints hurt with the cold air and engine vibration." ]

It`s also the 60+ year olds that have the money to buy one - I bought mine at 58 cause the mortgage was paid off and I have money put aside for retirement with a bit left over for a discretionary purchase - my Scoot - the 30/40 year olds are still paying off the house and raising kids so there is a better chance to sell a 60 year old than a 40 year old.

And yes - I can still lift my leg over the seat. This guy is full of himself.

 

Harley-Davidson will still be building motorcycles long after Fortune Magazine is just a bad memory!
