I've been looking at the ads on craigslist, and people are still looking for $10K-$14K for their used Harleys. I can't imagine too many are going to get sold for that price, and when people really need cash, there's going to be a lot of used iron on the market for pretty rock-bottom prices. Will anyone buy a new one if they can pick up a fairly recent one for, say, $8K?

EDITED TO ADD: And I'm seeing the same thing with BMWs. I think most of the Beemer crowd is going to weather the recession just fine, though, so maybe it doesn't matter so much.
