All I see driving them are old men.

It will go the way of the Harley - ........ since the average Harley-Davidson customer is a married man in his early 50s, with a household income at or above $90,000. These are the customers buying motorcycles out of a passion for the product or lifestyle. - - - The reason for such drastic revenue decline is due to the market for Harley-Davidson branded motorcycles. The core customer base is aging, and younger motorcyclists are more apt to purchase cheaper options. The consequences can be seen in the rapid decline of US shipments over the past five years. US shipments have declined at a rate of 15.21% per year.

In reality those "old men" are the same people who were buying in the 80s - you could spot them anywhere in their uniform - Members Only jacket with a Corvette patch, unbuttoned shirt showing off several gold chains and FL SAACs ideal woman hanging on their arm.

'Todays' Harley (and Corvette) owners are definitely aging, and dying out. Same as our hobby. Btw, the 'younger' motorcycle owner of today, is only buying the rice rockets. Those are the guys that have the younger Barbi Dolls under their arms that I mentioned. The aging Harley guy wishes he had them. In reality, they have the older MILFs.

Depends some of those old Harley guys can buy out of the new model trophy case for their Sturgis trips.
