Harley resale value utterly sux and many Harley owners who think they will get all the money back they put into it are going to be VERY suprised when they go to sell. I have $25k in mine (its an 04) and can MAYBE get 12k for it. Personally, I didnt take resale value into account when I bought the bike. Honestly, I got bad advice as it was my first motorcycle. Harley simply has an image that many people identify with or want to be a part of. There are better bikes on the road which are cheaper and perform better than Harley. Also, their engines are antiquated. They are still using V-Twins while other manufacturers are using inline 4's and even 6s. The WORST thing about Harley is that most people who buy them adopt the mentality that they will have to upgrade the engine because they are so underpowered. For most Harleys, getting a 110 upgrade kit is about $9k and it will still be underpowered compared to other bikes. If people actually did research and didnt buy based on image, Harley would have to mke bikes that are more on par with other manufacturers. Actually, Bart is kind of right.
