Funny enough, it is a thing for cars too. You've never seen modern replicas of classic cars? Or restoration cars etc?

No one is going to pay a premium for an old looking car that gets smoked by a 4 banger honda civic. So why do they buy so many old looking motorcycles that get smoked by a honda civic?

What I find funny about all of this is people say millennial cant take responsibility for their actions. When Its the parents who taught them that, and its their generation thats complaining how we are killing their restaurants and businesses when they dont do jack squat to modernize themselves.
WHHHAAAAAA my company is failing, damn millennial.

The Rocket is just trying to out Harley the Davidsons with its absurd displacement and 4x4 truck tire on the back. Granted it is modern and has good styling. But it's intention is purely to be the biggest baddest bike out there. Not to be easy or even fun to ride.

I almost got one a while back for better commute gas mileage, but I changed jobs and left Phoenix.
I looked at a Harley 883, but also a Kawasaki Vulcan and and Indian Scout and a used Victory Hammer.
I liked the Indian the best and still may get one. Dream bike is a Ducatti XDiavel S

Wgaf? If a company is producing things people don’t want, it’s not the people’s fault.
Adapt or die.
Don’t see nobody crying about the lack of wooden wagon wheel companies.

Harley has the new LiveWire electric bikes, hoping young tree huggers will buy them, but they are still way too much. Like 30K and young people are lucky if they can swing 10K for a base Indian Scout Bobber or Iron 883. that's still 200 per month for 5 years and if they also have a car payment, rent and student loan payments they are already maxed out.

Just checked HD site for their models.
Brb 3/4 bikes is a classic model no one wants anymore and can be bought for a fraction of the price in the second hand market with low miles on them anyway. Brb saturated their own market lel. Their cheaper biks look like cheap shet, their cool bikes are way too expensive. Plus the whole ******* biker cliche really centers around HD more than any other brand.
Either way brb buying a sick looking slick Jap bike with a new style for 1/3 or 1/2 of the price and I can still drive past an elementary school without kids asking if I'm with the Village People.
