How come Harley always discontinue the good looking bikes? And keep the boring and ugly ones around?

Just let this brand die already?
>>
>>28958055
Because the old fucks that buy Harleys don't want good looking bikes. They want bikes that look exactly like their last bike with a fresh coat of paint and a softer suspension for their aging back.
Once the boomers die out, Harley dies out with them.

That's why they revealed the Cafe racer bike. To pivot the brand into something new.

They should've done what indian did and get with the times.

What's the deal with the big front tires? Do those ones handle better?
>>
>>28958112
People have been saying this for 30 years.
They've tried all kinds of things, like this oil hungry thing. They tried low end sportster models.
Now they're water cooled, at least "spot cooled" and everyone pretends not to notice.
They're too expensive, that's the fatal flaw.

That too. The Harley tax keeps anyone who isn't dead set on a Harley from being interested, and the only people who are dead set on Harleys don't have many more riding years left in them.

The internal codename for their first official trike was "Boomer." I shit you not, late 00s.

Americans don't have any taste.

In other news, water is wet.

If you caint see beauty in a pontoon boat plastered in American flags then you're plain blind.
I think their touring bikes are more for comfort than looks. Could be wrong.

nah they are bascailly like a 50s caddy but in motorcycle form
the grand american touring bikes are by far the best selling hds now ppl just want the biggest gayest model you can buy
>>
I was shopping for some Harleys but idk what I'm looking at really. Why do you pick a dyna or softail? Years, engines etc. Japanese is simple you just pick the size you want
>>
>>28958552
dyna if you wanna larp as sons of anarchy
softail if you wanna larp as a boomer
evo if you wanna larp as a woman
Doesn't really matter, they're all pretty mid. Just look for an Evo motor.
Get a one of glides/trikes if you are a real boomer.
>>
>>28958055
they are intentionally trying to tank the company. thats why they got rid of any flake paint and never sold a sportster with 100hp even when its been done 50 years ago in bubbas garage
>>
>>28958430
such a npc neighborhood
>>
>>28958552
sportsters are for light highway use, all the heavies are for long highway rides. dyna have a narrower frontend for more responsive turning. softail is for looks.
>>
>>28958624
the night train will forever be the best fucking one of them all especially the 98-99 models
