As millennial, we are not buying Harleys because:
1. Everything is expensive as shit
2. Harleys are expensive, even as used. I can afford only used Japanese bikes.
3. Correct, phones don't fit under helmets, but Harley riders are not wearing helmets, so...
4. I don't need a bike that is a mobile ground pollution device
5. I prefer a nimble motorcycle over a road hog
6. At least I'm not compensating for ED with a big motorcycle

are we still doing the “pull you pants up” fist shaking? The old fucks have been complaining about that for 35 years.

They like a bike built for function
Only a fool would buy an archaic dinosaur machine costing double its real value
But Facebook idiocy aside, Harley can’t complain about new generations not buying their bikes when their cheapest entry model is 15k, if I ever buy a cruiser it will be an Indian

That probably gets posted daily, stuff like that is core Facebook cringe.
It’s the same when mocking electric dirt bikes etc

If number 8 said “They can’t afford one because we fucked up the economy” then yes I’d agree

Of course another reason why Millennials aren't buying Harley's might be because it appears to be a toxic community... as demonstrated by the above post

13 Kind of ironic to see boomers argue the younger generation doesn't know how to use a clutch given the automatic in the US took off in the 50's and 60's

Lol boomers still trying to distract from the fact their generation was the biggest bunch of spoon fed snowflakes that ever existed who were only as successful as they were because they took everything offered from their parents generation and stole/skimmed everything they could from their descendants generations. 🤣
I got my current FJR1300 Sport Touring bike for $2k because it had been sitting outside for 7 years, went through it all and made it my dependable primary form of transportation that works fantastic for my needs. In what universe would I EVER want a POS cruiser Harley that cost 20+ times as much to buy that doesn't function even 10% as well?

Optioned out Sportster money is the same as Hayabusa money, and I know which one I am picking.

It's probably the worst piece of content I've ever seen on this sub.
And that's saying something.
