Picture this, after a 100+ years these dealers have never experienced a big muddy mess rolling in the shop, and it to be ‘expected’.
They have delt with highway dirt, but not BDR “dirt” lol
I wonder what most of these Harley techs are thinking when this big dirt machine rolled up in there rack? Lol
Someone recently posted what great luck he has had with his Tenere. I don’t remember the mileage exactly but his Tenere was about 100K, he had another bike with like 300K and his Harley with 200K. Something like that. Someone asked him if he has the same great luck with the Harley, his response made me crack the hell up. I wish I knew where that was so I could re post it. He goes on to respond to the question (in a funny way IMOP) about all the parts that failed, broke, cracked, fell off going down the high way, Etc. I think he said they had stopped excepting his extended warranty because there where so many issues. It was funny and classic.
This is an extremely competitive market with many awesome machines. If Harley comes in with this hokey-pokey “it might last 30K miles” BS, they are going to have there ass handed to them in a big way from this segment.
Good luck to them, I think more the better. This is just a game they are not ready for unless they step it WAY up !
