yes harley has become a commodity,and their success over the last 10 years has unfortunately been a fad.harley has replaced the corvette as the mid-life crisis purchase of choice.i remember up until about eight years ago you had to be on a waiting list to buy a new harley,now every stealership is full of them.their true value is reflected in thier resale value,you used to be able to sell one for the entire amoumt you had in it and then some,now the market is so flooded with used bikes it's ridiculous.and no it's not the economy,it's over production.there are just to many suburban weekend bikers out there.i ride my speedie everywhere,work,school,the gym,****** i bought a backpack so i could ride to the grocery store.and ditto on the bad expieriences with the 30-40 year old riders,i get annoyed at their snubs because i chose to ride a bike that doesn't make me blend in with the harley crowd,besides why would i wanna spend all that money on those expensive a$$ black and orange clothes!
