slowrollwv Posted July 2, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 2, 2018 About 4K for a bicycle. I can't see me doing that even if does have a Harley name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Posted July 2, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 2, 2018 If they make them out of titanium and carbon fiber with fragile tires 1/4 inch wide and 46 forward gears so they don't have to break a sweat the spandex dweebs will snap them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted July 2, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 2, 2018 My son-in-law spends much more than that for his racing bicycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledj Posted July 2, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 2, 2018 They'll probably be faster and more reliable than the motorcycles. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted July 2, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 2, 2018 It doesn't matter who makes them. I could not ride one for a couple reasons. The seat is too small and hard. And I would get tired going down hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted July 3, 2018 Share #7 Posted July 3, 2018 Well at least it would be powered by a twin, just don't know if you could call it a V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted July 3, 2018 Share #8 Posted July 3, 2018 My son-in-law spends much more than that for his racing bicycles. Yup!! My step-daughter has way more than that in her bicycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 lakes Posted July 3, 2018 Share #9 Posted July 3, 2018 "Millenials aren't buying Harleys" is something I didn't see come up in the thread discussing tariffs and is the real reason behind their current issues, moving production outside of the US, they will lose some of the appeal they currently have in the foreign markets if not all the bikes are made in the US but their labor costs will be significantly reduced. Their real problem is pretty simple, they have saturated a limited, aging market. Harleys are everywhere and bada$$ orthodontists with skulls, gold eagles and HOG rockers on their brand new leathers have become a joke, at least around here. Watch a pair of 70 year old grandparents walk into a restaurant in full leather and you'll see some younger folks suppress snickers at the "old folks in biker costumes". They see it like the younger folks who dress up like anime characters at Comic con, except not cool. That is HD's real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Posted July 3, 2018 Share #10 Posted July 3, 2018 Marcal.........I think it would be an M rather than a V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
