    Our dealership doesn't know what to do with any harley, before we could find buyers, but the market is so saturated they're worth nothing on trade and nobody wants to buy them. Those we get sit around and we then see if a HD specialty auction house will take them. I knew it would happen eventually, but I'm still a little surprised how bad it really has gotten.

      Yes! That is bad! WE CERTAINLY CAN'T GET THE MONEY OUT OF THEM THAT WE PUT INTO THEM. That is for sure!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video and comment on it. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing such difficulties in selling the Harleys at your dealership. We can certainly BELIEVE 100 PERCENT WHAT YOU WROTE TO BE TRUE. Thanks, again! Ruthie B.

    If I buy a used Harley I want it to be as stock and unmolested as possible. The more custom it is the less I want it.
    Ask for touring bikes, you don't need a touring bike to tour unless you're taking a passenger with you. 30 years ago I toured all over the country on a 500cc motorcycle. At 6 ft 200 lb I had no problems other than having to buy an aftermarket seat and a sissy bar. A big duffle bag straps to the sissy bar of any motorcycle, doubles as a rider backrest, and you can take it right into the motel.

    Health insurance and age you get hurt you never recover at 65 and 70 years old . To many fools out there challenging bikes .
    Many a men died from bad drivers .Those bike auctions are nice but a Japan bike from the 70s sell good like RD 350 YAMAHA are a Suzuki 750 GT two stroke but Harley wanted a arm and leg for there stuff and cops give tickets now with technology.
