6 Reasons Why Harley-Davidson Expects a Rough 2024

Oddly enough, it appears to me that the 2024 Touring Harleys are starting to look more like Indians in terms of styling. When I look at the shape of the new saddle bags, the new fairing and fuel tank, plus a tv screen instead of actual gauges, I can't say I care for the direction they are going in.

Though to be honest I do wish Harley would copy Indian more in quality of life features namely remote locking bags and adjustable windscreen; heck BMW and Honda offer both at the same price point and then take the suspension game much further.

Hey , Alls I know is with each year that passes I keep seeing more and more Indians on the road and at bike rallies. So they are definitely making a dent in Harley Davidson. Bottom line at the end of the year. And it might NOT be very much , but it’s just that little bit that Indian grows each year that will make a big difference 5 or even 20 years down the road .

I looked really hard and I can't find anything I like about the look of that bike. Too much bodywork closing everything off, no doubt it's all plastic. The fender lamp is a fail as is the tank badge. The lowers don't make sense and satin paint never did anything for me on anything, bike or car. The whole bike just looks cheap with bad styling. Im not usually one to take the time to bash a bike but I was just so moved by that picture I couldn't help myself.

I miss the simple touring bikes, price and models. No chrome. No FLHR, you have to buy the fancy model. No cheap sportsters. Though you do have fair priced used market to get people into harley. Some people want to buy a new bike. The sportser S, while maybe worth the cost, is expensive.
I don't know if Indian will ever boom. But I sure do here people talking about how they have nice features. Now with harley you have to pay for a second key. It is like they hate their customers.
