Interesting Old Triumph Ad Circa 1972 or so

If Harley goes, then so does Indian and Victory whose product lines and customer base mimics those of Harley Davidson. I think these mfgs have too much invested to just throw up their hands and stubbornly keep producing nothing but cruisers for a market that no longer exists. Harley adding liquid cooled and electric bikes to their line shows they can read the writing on the wall, as well as the liquid cooled scout from Indian.

You can hate Harley if you want but many companies, including all the Japanese companies, have made and continue to make their own forays into that lucrative market place pioneered by Harley Davidson. Harleys marketing plan has been nothing but genious.
