Actually, something very like this DID happen, documented in "Who Killed the Electric Car": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Ki...lectric_Car%3F. It's an interesting view, worth watching.

maybe i will learn something!

 

 

 

The used ones I have bought have been pretty reasonable, cheaper than comparable Japanese cruisers. Get a 10 year old Sportster and it's no more expensive than a comparable Japanese cruiser.

 

I have said several times before that the people in charge of and designing the new Harley Davidson motorcycles with so-called young riders as their market need to get some serious mental health treatment.

Their fantasy that every young rider (male or female) from now on is crotch rocket based is just complete stupidity. If you want to market the youth in the "green" market you are going to find preppy looking college students riding some sort of high mpg scooter (go to a major college campus and see for yourself). Some preppy looking cash register employee that works at Old Navy and is in to the "green" movement (including electric powered vehicles) is not getting off work and pulling out of the parking lot in her $30,000.00 electric crotch rocket motorcycle.

I surely am not going to ride my rumbling old-school Harley Davidson on Friday and get my $30,000.00 electric toy Harley Davidson crotch rocket out to ride on Saturday. If I need a crotch rocket looking motorcycle I will purchase another Hayabusa for $11,000.00.

 

I just don't like, plain and simple. Hope it sells though, so it keeps HD supplying me with t shirts and parts 😃
