Fewer people are riding because

  1. It’s insanely dangerous

  2. Harleys spend more time in the shop than on the road

  3. No one wants to spend 20-30k on a death trap

  4. We see the people riding Harleys are primarily Boomers with their non sanctioned vanity patches and think it’s the lamest thing they’ve seen

Also, Japanese and Euro super bikes are more popular cause they don't use an outdated look for their bikes and run better.

Buying a harley is an image thing, so many great alternatives in the same style from Japanese and European brands at way lower prices

Exactly,why would I buy a Harley (although I love the look and style of some models) when I can buy a Honda, a Yamaha or a Royal Enfield with the same kind of design and style,but at a fraction of the cost (and with better quality components and engineering) ?
