Out here, I still see a lot of old Harleys on the road. Shovel head, knuckle head even pan head, thats going back into the 50's. Rice burners, not so much.:cool:
Largely because HD makes up something like 75% of the market in road bikes!

why would that be?
In the US market the HD is the most popular large bike. Although their market share has been slipping, they were, and still remain, the biggest seller of large displacement motorcycles in the US.

There was a time when I would agree that they were terrible, in the 70's when AMF bought them they were like the American cars of that era. ( junk ) The design was getting long in the tooth and quality was terrible. What is happening to them now is there demographic has changed and they are struggling to design there way out of it, with there loyal customers getting to old to ride. They need a design change without becoming something completely different. They have there work cut out for them.

This one hits home, when I was 13 I had a minibike and wanted a motorcycle. My dad came home with a 305 Honda and told me I could ride it when I could start it and ride it. I could get it started but couldn't reach the ground. I put a railroad tie on each side so I had a place to start and stop, and for quite a while, thats how I rode it.
