Harley Davidson Store

Why did Harleys stop evolving?

Could you see Ford saying in the the 70's "well the Pintos selling well...lets sell it for the next forty years just the way it is". Why won't Harley atleast try to build a better bike, evolve the technology, and improve the brand instead of coming up With more merchandise (that is made in China) to stick its logo on?

The core group of customers resist any kind of change, they are just stubborn old dinosaurs and HD knows if they really would decide to make too radical of a change that the core group would revolt and just keep recycling the old junk, the way they still drive '58 Fords and Chevies in Cuba. They were lucky to squeeze the VRod in the mix, although I don't think it sells particularly well.
There are evolutionalry changes that are made, such as the items mentioned in the earlier posts. That's just to reflect the changes in technology that Harley can't ingnore, "WOW", y'know "DISC brakes, aren't we HIGH TECH now", thhhhppppptttt.........
