This guys knows what he is talking about. Again, after many many years in shops, you can track the rapid decline of the 90's cafe racers, and next on the cutting block are riders like me, cruisers. Where did they all go.....They all kept going, were the rest of us stopped, at the edge of the pavement, where the stone road led to a dirt, and the dirt road led to no road, and then they kept on going. We see a huge segment or riders here who started out small, then went faster, then went bigger and faster, and as they continued on there two wheeled journey through the decades, along came adventure riding. The population here, is absolutely crazy for it. There are so many places to explore beyond the pavement where no one ever goes. Its what us dirt riders used to do as kids, proper exploration. Some guys go 12-15 hours riding, never touching pavement, but instead heading up to beautiful vistas in the mountains, and down old river tracks.

Its not my cup of tea, but I do get it, and again, the above poster is right, in many parts of the world, it is really starting to take a bite out of the market. Would be interesting to see if a scrambler or some sort of Vstrom variant is on HDs radar.
