i heard thru a pretty good source that Harley is going back to a Limited Production bike ordering process again..you know where you're waiting and waiting for you new bike to come in that you ordered months in advance...some of you may have heard this , but it was new to me , so im posting it for those who might be thinking of going in for a new one soon...

 

hd stocks will get a boost for fourth quarter.

 

My cousin lives a half mile from MMI and when they get out of school I hear them roaring by down the road.
I can just imagine how many of these guys will be out of work when the bikes stop coming out like they have been.
There're still plenty to be serviced, but there's lots of mechanics out there already too.
Wonder if they'll be laying off soon?

 

whatcha mean ???

 

Huh??? I know my head was a little cloudy during those early morning Business Smarts 101 classes but.....unless they downsize to match production and jack the prices so they earn more per unit sold, that stock is not going up....it's going down.

Took tour things look normal to me. Been to York factory about 2 dozen times.over the years.
Lines running bikes off in to test area. Alot of overseas/international bikes being built.

 

yep thats what i heard also, also i hear they may not go through with the rocker and that people who have a deposit on the rocker are getting there deposite back.

 

This doesn't sound like a smart move for HD. A lot of the guys I know riding metrics went that direction because they "wouldn't play the over msrp and wait months for your bike" game with HD. For a lot of guys a new bike isn't something they plan for months in advance. Theywander intoa dealership, see something they like and next thing they know it kind of follows them home. We have become a "I want it now" society and if HD doesn't have product ready to be delivered, the manufactures that do will win big.

 

No one has ever accused Harley of being smart

 

If anything, it will drive values back up!!
