Seems that Harley has some sluggish sales and dealers are actually offering discounts on new bikes. Wall Street Journal article here: http://on.wsj.com/1KeIbrk

Nope. I don't get all hung up on disliking a brand and believe they are all good when they run. I have long lost track of the vehicles, both 2 and 4 wheel that I have owned but have stuck by "they are all good when they run".You are kidding.....right??

hum.... must be production is exceeding the demand, unlike a few years ago.
Wonder if demand has reduced, or if production has increased.
I would not spend the money for such a thing.
But was fun for a day. (rental. Pigeon Forge TN)

It may be because BMW is taking a greater share of the market... Just saying.

Yep, your probably right. Both Indians and victories are nice bikes.
Have friend who owns a used Harley business. He really moves units. I asked him several months ago how he was able to deliver so many 6 to 10 year old Harley's (with 30,000 to 60,000 miles) a week, given current marketplace and financial climate? His answer surprised me, just about every unit is LEASED! He has a financial outlet underwriting loans as "leases" or 24 months with option to purchase...miss a payment and bike possession is in jeopardy. One can imagine credit worthiness of customers.

I went to a local bike show today. HD dealership that had a display there was offering a leftover 2015 Switchback for about $2500 under MSRP. I sat on it and a sales guy was there immediately talking up what a great deal they were offering. I thought that was odd because I thought HD's were always marked above MSRP, and NEVER marked down.
