Can we stop bashing millennials? We're all grown and just trying to make it though the life boomer fudds created for us. Hate needs to be directed toward the true idiotic generation... gen Z.

The “true idiotic generation” isn’t exclusive to any generation. It’s full of people who say things like “we’re all just trying to make it through the life boomer fudds created for us.”

Or it could be that the new Harleys just suck compared to the old ones in terms of quality, and prices are high, interest rates are high, and folks would rather afford to get a house and eat.

When you make @#$ that always breaks down the same way for 40 years and people stop buying it.

Your business might fail

I owned 2 and never again. Wide Glide and springer soft tail. The cool factor is long gone on them bikes.

I’ve been riding over 50 years and have pretty much owned one of everything. I’ve got an old Road King now that I really like. It’s no more trouble than any of the metrics I have had. Gen Z can ride whatever they like but I’d just as soon have a sister in the ho house as own an electric motorcycle.

Sad to see an American icon go

 

[Rougarou]

It would be a sad thing to see Harley go but when a American icon is mostly made in China what do you expect, when I bought my Honda VTX years old I did my research and it had a lot less Chinese parts than a Harley, Yamaha had less Chinese parts than a Harley and finally Victory had the most American made parts of I remember correctly Victory bikes had 89% American Continent USA/Canada/Mexico parts.
Parts on a Harley stamped ROC (Republic Of China) doesn't mean it though as a rock.
