Large motorcycle sales on the skids

[Richard230]

This is likely no surprise to anyone, but large (and expensive) motorcycles sales are dropping, with Harley leading the pack - according to this Bike Bandit blog:

While Harley is mentioned, I wonder how Polaris sales are going with Indian lately, now that the Empulse and Victory have been trimmed from their range.?  They are not exactly giving those things away and I bet not too many millennials are buying them.

I had heard that the average rider age is in the 30s and 40s.  Its quite surprising.  With Harley the problem is they're like a one trick pony they only make one type of bike for the most part.  For some reason they are wildly popular in Japan from when I went riding there.  That's why you see a lot of manufacturers selling or coming out with new bikes that are cheaper and easier to own nowadays.
