The Harley myth of value lives on.
If I buy a comparable bike like a thunderbird as example. If you buy a harley and pay a 20-25% more. Then we both sell a few years later. You get 20% more than I do after a few years.
Do the math. You likely paid more per year to own that hd than I did owning something more unique.
Add expensive harley accessories and now I really financially kicked your tail as those accessories are worth a whole lot of nuttin.
And many of us admire the accessories available to hd guys. If I ever bought one this would be one of the key selling points for me. But I should thank other makers for not having this available to me and potentially letting me go down a financial rabbit hole of lost investment. So. Thank you
It's a myth not supported by actual math data.

Obviously some assumptions made above for sake of conversation. Numbers are just conversational base assumptions.
