That's the "magic" of capitali$m, Skippy....the customer always gets raped.
.
In '73, I bought a brand-new Duster....with a lil' 318, in it....for $3,500.
.
Hell, in the very-early '60s, candy-bars were a nickel....and, when you went to the store (for "your Mother"), you could pick-up a pack of filterless-Camels for $.25!!!!
.
When you're old-enough, to drive, whatta you think you're gonna get for $3,500?????

I would not buy any motorcycle, but if I did, I imagine that I would pick one light weight for me to pick it up if it fell over. Harleys are too heavy for me.

Sinewan drives a two cylinder Ducati, You Tube has a two cylinder BMW, Itchyboots has a Yamaha Terere, and Pabito Viajero rides a Honda Trail 90.

I am not planning to buy any sort of motorcycle. I am happy to see that you apparently bought a 1973 Plymouth for $3500. In 1973 I was driving a 1969 Renault 10 that I bought for $1900. Later that year, we needed a second car, so I bought a 1961 Dodge Lancer for $150. I owned it for about a year and sold it for $200, because we no longer needed two cars.

I bought my first car in 1972 after 5 years of owning motorcycles. I paid $150 for a 1960 Chevrolet and drove it for 4 years and many tens of thousands of miles without any mechanical breakdowns.

Tell us how many Harleys the export.
I suggest you have no clue.
I don't care much about Harley Davidson motorcycles. But it seems obvious that they appeal to rich hobbyists, and every year more of them die off or stop buying motorcycles.
You cannot spell Harley or Indian, it appears. Or even use a spell checker. What a dimwit!

they do not give figures for exports only total sales units about 150000 a year Honda alone sells 7 million units not to mention the dozen or so of other manufacturer its largest MARKET IS THE USA THE EU IS SECOND AND THEY BUY ABOUT 40000 UNITS HARLEY WAS WELL ON ITS WAY TO CLOSING A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE A MINOR PLAYER AND A MED TO SMALL COMPANY THEY EMPLOYEE AROUND 4600 EMPLOYEES, AT ONE TIME THEYN WERE THE NUMBER 1 MOTORCYCLE THE BIKES EVERY ONE WANTED SO JUST TO LOOK COOL NOT REAL BIKERS.
THEY NOW ARE A MINOR PLAYER THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AS i SAID A COMPARTABLE HONDA COST ABOUT 13 G WHLE THE HAREY IS 27 G.
THEY ARE A DYING COMPANY SLOWLY DYING JUST S LITTLE BACK IN THE 70S 2 FREINDS GOT HARLYS MADE BY AMF i WAS RIDING A MOTTO GUZZI AND A NORTON , well they both had problems the sportster had engine issue and electrical the dresser had oil leaks they never got fixed it would be fixed and either leak aging at the same point or another my motto guzzi was dead nut reliable my Norton had electrical issue and if it back fired when using the electric starter it would burn up the starter and it was a sob to kick start .
