It is, kinda, if you consider the history. Maybe not...Well..that was a shock!
^^++!!I think Harley should announce a (touring/bagger) bike that the average Joe can afford. Their prices are insane. If it wasn't for the low cost of Honda (and other Metric) used bikes I would not be on a motorcycle. Old Harleys are still way out of my price range. With all due respect to those who attend, rally's like Sturgis don't mean much to me. Neither does the fact that Harley is the 'official' motorcycle of the event.
I could have had my Fury or a V-Rod for the same price. The catch? The V-Rod was an 03, the Fury a 2010...since my Spirit was an '01 the choice was easy.I think Harley should announce a (touring/bagger) bike that the average Joe can afford. Their prices are insane.

Oh no he didin....:mrgreen:Now I guess they will have an official manufacturer of trailers that carry Harley-Davidson motorcycles to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally award.![]()
Doolittle and Lark make some nice enclosed trailers!Now I guess they will have an official manufacturer of trailers that carry Harley-Davidson motorcycles to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally award.![]()
Curious as to how much money Harley Davidson ponied up to buy the title of "official motorcycle" of Sturgis?:roll:
The Japanese probably didn't care, and Polaris probably didn't have the financial means to do it.
They don't need to. They have a massive display every year at Sturgis and anybody actually interested in the historic roots can find the entire story at every street corner.If the folks at Indian Motorcycles were smart they would turn this on its head and start an advertising campaign reminding folks that the Sturgis rally was originally cooked up by a local Indian dealer.
Something along the lines of "The REAL -- not made up by a Princeton grad in the advertising department -- motorcycle behind Sturgis. You can't buy authenticity...although apparently you can rent it for enough money.":roll:
