“Hey our demographic is aging out of riding, dying or have other options like Indian to choose from, we should broaden our appeal to younger, more diverse customers. “

proceeds to do a bit of that

“Oh no, our forevermore shrinking customer base we’re trying to move away from doesn’t like it, we should abandon that plan and all but ensure our demise”

Clever plan.

This is true even if you take politics out of the equation. See: V-rod, Live wire, etc.

P.S. I’m salty about them killing the V-rod, it’s the best looking Harley imo especially when bobbed out, and it’s super fast as well

Agreed. None of their popular bikes really resonated with me but I dug some modded V-rods

Harley Davidson, the t-shirt company? The one that also sells motorcycles on the side?

Ya know, they might as well have a chain of bar & grill restaurants too. That way the whole family can enjoy Harley Davidson™ products without having to worry about Wokeness interfering with their satisfaction.

I mean, they own Livewire too, so it might cut into that.

Just obnoxious bikes that somehow have a slower 0-60 than a 1982 civic while being louder than a mustang with the muffler removed

Not to mention those bikes sometimes have stereos just as loud and obnoxious as those mustangs now too. They’re the whole package!

Don’t you understand?

Making a lot of noise is the only way they can be noticeable, surely they couldn’t do something like wear a high vis vest or take their own safety seriously just in general.

Clearly the only option is to be even louder and more annoying…

Hey what’s the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

They never had a customer base with sane people, so that fits.
