The future of Harley-Davidson - Cormanus - 09-20-2019
The CEO of Harley-Davidson is in Australia for the launch of the latest model range. He gave an interview to a local newspaper. Copyright considerations mean I can't reprint it here, but members interested in his views on the future can read it [url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ov4HKyyYdR68SV1ljjUiDPXoNzh_TwZa/view?usp=sharing]here.

The main takeaway from reading that article is that Harleys are obscenely overpriced. The guy fully admits that the only thing saving their bacon at the moment is the huge profit margins built into all their products. He also promises to continue this pricing policy with their smaller, more youth-oriented products.
Yeah, good luck with that.

I hope Harley-Davidson starts focusing on making motorcycles that are competent, aesthetic, mid-range affordable, and built to create desire to own vs. to create media buzz and garner politically-correct accolades.

Going to be a tough road to hoe. 5 straight years of sales declines and 103 years of " here's what we make. If you don''t like it, go F yourself you weinie"

Ferret, in my 4ish years on this forum that has got to be the most hardcore thing I've ever heard you say (and as usual it's entirely true)! I'm glad a wasn't sipping my drink while reading that.

I thought the same thing...like maybe the Ferret’s account got hacked!
