“Hey our demographic is aging out of riding, dying or have other options like Indian to choose from, we should broaden our appeal to younger, more diverse customers. “
proceeds to do a bit of that
“Oh no, our forevermore shrinking customer base we’re trying to move away from doesn’t like it, we should abandon that plan and all but ensure our demise”
Clever plan.
I assume their target demographic is aging dudes going through a midlife crisis, so this is unsurprising to me.
Just another reason to not buy a Harley, beyond the lackluster build quality and mediocre performance.
They never had a customer base with sane people, so that fits.
Harley Davidson, the t-shirt company? The one that also sells motorcycles on the side?
Ya know, they might as well have a chain of bar & grill restaurants too. That way the whole family can enjoy Harley Davidson™ products without having to worry about Wokeness interfering with their satisfaction.
I mean, they own Livewire too, so it might cut into that.
I used to download my MP3s from there! Nothing but mislabed Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit for miles,I loved it
You’d think after Americans bailed this shit hole company out twice they’d have something to show for it.
Just obnoxious bikes that somehow have a slower 0-60 than a 1982 civic while being louder than a mustang with the muffler removed
Not to mention those bikes sometimes have stereos just as loud and obnoxious as those mustangs now too. They’re the whole package!
Don’t you understand?
Making a lot of noise is the only way they can be noticeable, surely they couldn’t do something like wear a high vis vest or take their own safety seriously just in general.
Clearly the only option is to be even louder and more annoying…
Yeah when I rode my solid black Ninja 250 with stock pipes around I got run over like fifteen times a mile. If it doesn’t sound like they’re blasting at the quarry the cage drivers just ain’t gonna notice you.
Being loud is an advantage to thei riders though
There’s a difference between being loud enough to be noticeable and making shit tons of noise for absolutely fuck all reason
