FLHT, FXD and base XL12's and 883's. The increase in sales to the younger demographic came after those models were eliminated. The driving model in that demo has been the Nightster as well as a huge upswing in young people buying Baggers. Specifically the FLHX. I support the idea of cheap entry level Harley's but historically they have not been a big source of sales revenue and given the current trend in HD's advertising I can't see that changing.bmxcollectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358896230091022725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943753627373120364.post-11102373598669155212010-11-19T19:27:35.931-08:002010-11-19T19:27:35.931-08:00Every "young" kid I run into (cause I...Every "young" kid I run into (cause I'm 41 now, and not a kid no more damit!) who's bought one of these base model blow jobs (read: overpriced sportster) has done so out of nothing but ignorance (and I don't mean dumb). Just that they did not fully understand what the were buying v. what they intended on getting (i.e. cool factor). Some of them are just happy to have a bike, but the other 90% do nothing but try to customize, accessorize, actually chop with friends assistance or self taught, talk about reselling (cuase it's always going to go UP in value), or end up parking it and not riding it. Of course, I'm old and don't get out so much anymore, so in HD's opinion I'm wrong and bagger target zoned. Hell, I'm no sportster expert anyway.BoBo Jufathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594860874270856859noreply@blogger.com
