As a millennial literally shopping around for a motorcycle right now: Your shit is easily 2-3x what a comparable Japanese bike costs. Update your shit to not be comically overpriced and I might think about it. But as it stands, the only way I’ll ever ride a Harley is if I get it for free and even then I’d sell it for a Ducati or something like it
I haven’t decided yet. A standard or cruiser would be great but a sport bike is calling to me. A more “sensible” part of me wants a dual sport so I can more safely ride it in the winter however flawed that thinking is. I would love any recommendations if you have them.
I ride a cafe racer but my use case is strictly as a toy. I have a sensible daily driver that gets good gas mileage and gets me to the grocery store. I don’t ever have to ride in weather if I don’t want to.
I don’t think a dual sport gets you riding in the winter. That’s a good use case if you like to go on trails and such. I wouldn’t recommend riding in any ice conditions. Even if your motorcycle is your only mode of transportation, honestly, I’d call an Uber if it’s icy.
Half of buying a bike is finding one you think looks cool 🙂.
I have access to vehicles if I need to but I stubbornly love riding through shitty weather. I rode through two winters on my previous bike although I do acknowledge it was pretty stupid. I never had to ride in snowy or icy conditions thankfully.
I’m from an area that classically gets a ton of snow but based on the last few years I’m not sure how true that will be for long

What kind of bike are you looking at?

I’ve contemplated buying a bike, Harleys start at double what you’d pay for an equivalent Honda. You can crank two hogs for the price of one.
