They sure are.....you don't buy one to go fast around corners or down the 1/4 in 9 secs......I think you've missed the whole point of owning one.

They're amongst the heaviest and most expensive bikes in the world yet they break record sales year after year and they hold their value better than most other bikes.....must be doing something right.

Harley's selling a lifestyle that other manufacturers can still only covet.

If it wasn't for the Hog there would be no Easyrider, Stone, Harley & The Marlborough Man and Wild Hogs!

I t-boned a Datsun 1600 years ago on my old Gixxer 1100, wrote off the bike and nearly killed myself. If I was on a Metal Monster I would have pushed the thing out of the way and kept riding.

Thanks to Willie G. Davidson the Hog's been around for over 100 years and it won't go away in the next 100 unless Jesus bursts through the clouds before hand on his Softail Night Train.

God rides a Fat Boy!!

Why a Hog

Harley sales are on a decline actually.

US markets are always the best indicators being the largest bike market in the world.

You're right about all bike sales dropping slightly in the last 12 mths but its nothing more than a correction after the ballistic sales in the previous few years due to shows like 'American Chopper' & 'Biker Build Off'.

Compare current sales to 10 years ago and you'll find Harleys were the biggest contributor. (see below)

Road Bike Sales in Aust 2008

Checkout sales for roadbikes in Australia for the 1st quarter of 2008.

"Underlining the strength of Harley sales in the road-bike sector is the fact that if the 668 sales of the Honda CT110cc (as used by Aust Post) were taken away, from Honda's total road-bike sales it would make Harley the number 1 selling road-bike in the land."
