If HD wasn't giving the buying public what they want, they wouldn't be the successful business they are. In a competitive marketplace, a company can't force anything down the public's throat.
It really doesn't matter if you call Harley buyers wanna-be's, posers or losers, they seem to be a satisfied and happy group of customers. HD has made a good profit for the past 25 years.
Other motorcycle manufacturers only wish they could be as succesful as HD. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Look what other bike manufacturers are trying to sell - HD clones!
Besides, my HD stock has been very good to me for the last 20 years. I hope they continue to sell all the bikes they can make.
