    Recently tried to buy a 2024 Road Glide. Apparently Harley decided that their customer’s we’re getting tired of that heel shifter coming as standard equipment. They would much rather buy it at the parts counter after purchasing the bike. The dealer told me he would through it in for free, if it would get the deal done. It was a cash deal. I sat down to get the paperwork taken care of and write the check. Looking over the paperwork I discovered that they had added an hours labor to install the heel shifter. I didn’t say a word, just put my checkbook back in my pocket and walked out. Harley can indeed F**K OFF!

    • @cycletron
      @cycletron Před dnem

      Yes, it is the new (and old) business model they have been following. They are headed off the cliff as a company and they can take their hand-picked Mega dealers with them. The Mom and Pops are cool, there just isn't enough of them anymore.

  • @oldphart-zc3jz
    @oldphart-zc3jz Před 2 dny

    The classics which made the company are out of production so if HD folds nothing of value is lost. It's easy to keep anything Knucklehead or newer on the road at modest cost and HD closing would get rid of the posers and non-mechanics. The golden age of motorcycling was when riding demanded much more of riders and filtered the less dedicated. The aftermarket provides and there are more than enough Harleys to last another century without a single new one being sold.

  • @grgygantz6760

    Orlando dealers, the bell is not ringing like it use to. High turn over in the sales teams, marginal service and over stocked on product. No wonder Harley has gone woke. I was in one of the dealerships the other day. Sales people making phone calls, and you just see the dismal look on their faces. They definitely need to take a hard look at how they deal with the customer. There will always be people buying and selling. There’s other avenues for finding bikes

    I’ve recently purchased three 2023 BMW R 18’s (two 100 Year and one Bagger). The performance and quality of the R 18 puts Harley to shame. I also own a Ducati xDiavel and a BMW R 1250 GS Adventure. Thank goodness for Indian Motorcycle!!! Without Indian, American motorcycle culture would be an embarrassment compared to BMW and Ducati, not to mention MV Agusta and KTM.

    Never understood the amf hate. They saved the brand from certain doom and gave the name a chance where many may not have. As for quality control issues, i think it was a common theme for most manufacturers for that era and i dont think amf was worse by any means compared to other companies. As far as im concerned, AMF designed the evo engine, made a new and bettter manufacturing facility and made the company profitable again. Wasn’t poorly managed as much as it was poorly conceived by the public, hostile to change.

    I've found that showing up to a dealership 1-2 hours before they close and having a pre-approved loan makes things go a lot quicker. I had one dealer beat my APR rate that I was pre-approved for (it was a good rate) just so they could get the loan commission.

    I bought an Indian Super Chief Limited and the dealership got me for an extra $4,000 , so it's not just Harley gouging their customers. I just happened to want the bike bad enough to shell out the crazy cost. That being said, I love my bike and have no regrets about the purchase, but man American motorcycles are expensive.

    The Kantanas had 2 tooth larger rear sprocket than the naked GSX s1000 models. So what changes did you make to your front and rear sprockets compared to the stock ones. I'm guessing you went even deeper?

    • @cycletron

    • @onerider808
      @onerider808 Před měsícem

      I have two classic Harleys (90th FXRS and 100th Sportster) and a KLR. I love them all. I’d probably not buy a new Harley, but instead get a Z900rs and a KLX. My first bike was a 1978 KZ1000A2. I am not married to Harley, but not butt-hurt by their current marketing strategy, either.

    • @cycletron
      @cycletron Před 21 dnem

      I think the Z900rs is a great bike (one of the best out there). My son had a 2020 model and I rode it a few times although I prefer my Katana which is a differently styled retro bike. I still have my 2020 Roadster. I agree with you that nobody is making anybody buy from a given dealer. I am just over it with the Mega Harley dealers. Every Mom and Pop dealer that I have been to (and there are not may left) has been great.
