Well it is marketing, so………
My experience is completely opposite.
I'm on my 3rd Harley with about 160,000 miles between them.
About 15,000 miles on my current CVO Limited.
My 2011 Multi cost about the same to own as all 3 Harley's including tires.
The 30,000 miles service on the Multi alone was brutal.
And $21 for a Ducati oil filter???

Back to square one. I nominate Britt Lynn.
Ha~!! I'd do his job for 1/2 what they paid him..and likely do a better job without killing the company..why the FK a Motorcycle Company hires a guy like him is BEYOND My Comprehension .. "Oh he saved Puma Shoes"..FK ME Running wooppiedo..Shoes ain't The MotorCompany...and American Icon.
Good Riddance..go back to Germany JoHan.
Harley Davidson needs a True Motorcyclist at the Helm..not a casual rider.

He seemed like a good fit with this group:
Harley-Davidson - Governance - Board of Directors
Bagger racing gone in 3, 2, . . .

With the slight exception of the Ford guy, they're all posers. By that I mean they really are posing! Dress them up in some Harley gear and pose them for their pictures. I'll bet they stripped that shit off 10 seconds after the camera clicked.

What's my move?
HD does not sound like a happy place.https://www.jsonline.com/story/mone...s-citing-severe-underperformamce/83023903007/
- Harley-Davidson director Jared Dourdeville resigned, citing concerns about leadership and "cultural depletion."
- Dourdeville criticized CEO Jochen Zeitz's leadership and the company's "severe underperformance."
- He expressed concern over high employee turnover and a lack of entry-level products.
"In response to Dourdeville’s resignation letter, Harley-Davidson in an SEC filing noted that at a board meeting in February he had voted in favor of all current company directors standing for reelection, without discussion or objection.
“Mr. Dourdeville was not a dissenting voice in the boardroom as to matters he raised in his letter,” Harley-Davidson said.
“The Company is in the final year of the Hardwire, its five-year strategic plan (2021-2025). During his tenure as a Director, Mr. Dourdeville did not voice concerns in the boardroom over the Hardwire strategic plan” and confirmed that elements of the plan were “central to his investment thesis,” Harley-Davidson said in the filing."

Dude quit, dude whines about his reasons for doing so. HD says whiney dude never said shit while working there so he should shut the hell up now.
onesixsix
Oh, Bother
Dude whiner also calls out that all of the strategic plans that failed but were drafted, enacted, and approved by the board and executive leadership failed because the working level workers were remote.

Do you need one? I can sell you a Barely Used But Very Loud Glide for a substantial discount.

Too funny, reading this old thread when I was talking about buying the Ducati on the previous page; it's now 4 years older and the only thing I've done to it is put in a battery. But I still have a soft spot for this particular Super Glide.

I had to take my 2024 Softail back to the dealer today.
Only 344 miles and it started acting up at 257 miles. No start then all lights on instrument panel lighting up and staying on along with security light staying on.
Was able to flip the power switch back and forth a dozen times and it finally started. The Engine light stayed on and it kept showing the same code in three different areas the ECM, RHCM, ABS. U0142H. Codes could be cleared but came right back.
Started having issues with the throttle cutting out like it was a delay between the twist and response.
Will see what the Dealer has to say but so far I'm not happy.
