Huh ? Price has everything to do with overpriced sales

I brought a brand new 4 door 2018 TRD V6 Tacoma Sport 4X4 for $5,200 cheaper than a triglide ultra.

Please 🙄

Any idea what that truck will be worth in 6 years? I love trucks, but 4 wheel vehicles are the biggest money abyss their is - the depreciation is staggering. As I said, the Harley will likely be selling for more! Ten years out? Even more so!

Not sure what the resale value would be , But I didn’t buy my truck for that . My point is I got a truck 5 grand cheaper than a 3 wheeled bike , PRICE always makes the difference, and practically even more so.

If Harley pulled their head in and made their bikes cheaper, there would be a hog on every street corner cos cost prohibits most people getting one.

But they already know that , their just greedy ****ers.

Wiz Out 🍺

If you want a "wind in your hair" vehicle that still has decent resale value 5 to 10 years down the road....buy a new Jeep Wrangler and lower the top and remove the doors.
From my experience shopping for a used Wrangler last year all I can say is this: Man, do those things keep their value!

The way used Jeeps are priced reminds me of Harley's in the 90's.

It looks much more like a V-Rod than that Indian. I had hoped Cult Werk would have gone in a different direction with their custom, not that i'm surprised. Lowering the FXDR is just going to leave it with the same lack of ground clearance as the Breakout.

I am guessing this was a joke, right? Having tested both (FXDRS and XDiavel S), there is no comparison...none. XDiavel beats in every objective way (and I think an honest poll would also give it the win in looks too). I want HD to succeed and innovate as much as anyone, but this is not the route

It’s been a while since I have seen any victory. Thanks for reminding me of how much I don’t like the way they look.

That FXDR Custom though looks pretty damn good to me except for the shroud around the oil cooler.

Yes: even if it had a Sportster engine (not an engine specifically designed for a sport model) it was a good bike and i liked how it rode. A lot of torque on a way slimmer bike, it was a fun machine. So i totally agree with you, they had it but they let it die

true that. they let Buell die and i don't know why. The era was right: yamaha was pushing with the MT01 which i did not like a bit compared to the Buell bad *** look. Man, that transparent fuel tank

I really like what my friend did with his....after changing air cleaner, exhaust, handlebars, adding a cam and tune...
