I'm sure Harley would be very pleased to hear that. Because it's not people "of a certain age" that these new bikes are targeted at.

And the current crop of Harleys aren't going anywhere, so there will still be choices for the more traditional buyer.

Does everybody think that HD is going to quit building the bikes they build right now or next week or this year. They will keep building the baggers and most softails for awhile. I'm sure they aren't targeting most of us that already own a HD. Just funny to read all of the threads about the sky falling.

Classic post lol...anyways HD could pretty much STOP making bikes for 4 or 5 years right now and there would be plenty of used bikes to meet demand.

Just because you don't like it, you can't figure out why others might like it?
