When will I buy a Harley? When they can build something that doesn't cook the rear cylinder everytime you stop in traffic.
When will I buy a Harley? When they can build an engine with more than 58 hp at the rear wheel. Forget V-rod, Porsche designed the motor on that one.
When will I buy a Harley? When they build something that has the performance, durabiity and technical superiority of a Metric bike for equivalent money. I'm not a Rolex kinda guy and I'm not a Harley kinda guy, both are for status seekers. Why pay $100 for a Timex or Fossil when you can drop $24,000 on a Rolex Oyster President that keeps almost as good time? Does that make sense? Only if you're seeking status, same with Harley. I would consider buying a Heritage Classic Soft Tail if they could get the price down to about 11-12K. To me that's all their worth cause I can buy superior metric cruisers all day for that price.
When will I buy a Harley? After the current fad passes and they're no longer popular. If nobody rode 'em I might want one, as it is literally EVERYONE has one and I don't want to be like everyone else.
Have you ever noticed that Harley riders call them selfs the last of the individualists, real one percent macho loner types. What a farce! They are the most easily identifiable group of people in the world. They ride in massive packs, all ride the same bike, same leather vest, same wallet chain, same black shorty helmet or no helmet, same Harley T-shirt, Harley boots. OK, I'll stop now but man is this ever fun!
