Harley temporarily shutdown production after an employee at the Menomonee Falls plant tested positive for Coronavirus.
Some comments:
To bad for the workers, but the board has time now to figure out why they build such crappy overpriced bikes today, instead giving their customers the bike they want.
Harley-Davidson Temporarily Shutdown
Not surprising, Harley is so over stocked because people don’t want the machines anymore.Their touring line up have become so old and dated that i am now looking elsewhere for a bike, Indian, Yamaha or BMW, but i am really leaning towards the 2020 Indian Challenger.Relatively the same price but far more value for my money. The Road/Street Glides have become boring, dated, dull and stale and i personally am very disappointed in Harley and their lack of a refresh and design updates.Between mismanagement and lack of product refresh sales have been dropping and i guarantee that Harley will be 1st in line with their hand out lobbying the government for cash only because they dont do anything on R&D

So what, everyone is cutting back even before the coronavirus scare. Harley-Davidson is getting their asses kicked my other manufacturers and their rival Indian.Harley-Davidson has not taken advantage of new technology and is still using a chain primary drive and three oil fill holes not to mention full LED lighting. My new bike will be a Indian challenger if they don’t get their stuff together.

Imagine how many bikes Harley could sell if you could get Street Glide Special for $18k and a Fatbob for $12k?
It just may be time to consider a Big Dog k9 factory built chopper…
