Harley’s entry level bike is far more bike than a Rebel 250. That’s like asking why BMW’s 228 costs more than a loaded Honda Civic.

I’m in my 20's and many of my friends have switched from sportbikes to Harley’s. 5 of them in the past year. It’s quite strange.

I know a Ferrari bodykit when I see one.

Snark about the asshole owner rep all you want, but a good mid-’90s Harley has been pushing its way to the top of my want list lately.

Harley has the advantage of far and away the most known and therefore the most customizable to your personal taste platform out there.

I didn’t know BIG APOCALYPSE was out here doing sponsored posts

I think a better option would be to take the Type R and make it look like a ‘normal’ Civic (which is slightly less ugly).

Let’s play White Code Words!!!

The weight is always placed on the axels, bruh.

I agree - they try new things here and there, but they don’t sell well... it also could be that they don’t go all-in (the Streets are ugly and feel cheap, but the V Rod was cool).

Those people aren’t all the same people. Oh, and this shit happens everywhere. Big Brother started in the UK.

Electra Glides, Road Glides, etc usually weigh less than their competitors (GoldWings, Indians, etc).

I’m 29. I grew up in a small town, and moved to Seattle for college. I’m a bleeding heart liberal who on paper shouldn’t fit Harley’s demographic at all.

You’re wrong on everything you state except for less power and resale. Harleys are very comfortable, very reliable, have the same number of amenities as options and are not loud in stock form. You must be stuck in the 70's when AMF owned Harley. Open your eyes and mind.

I’ll believe you that it’s lovely to ride, but you’ll never convince me it’s lovely to look at. This is one of the ugliest motorcycles ever IMO. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

I think it looks horrible, but according to magazine tests back then, it handled just fine. Unlike just about any other cruiser on the market. Guess there’s no way BMW engineers could be made to design a bad handling motorcycle.

Im sure its great to ride, and it is unique, but not lovely to look at.
