2018 GoldWings Popping Up and New Closeouts

I posted these numbers several months back. No wonder Harley sales are dropping. In fact, it looks like bad news ahead for the entire MC industry.


The median age of motorcycle riders in the USA:

1990: 32
2009: 40
2017: 47

Median age of Sturgis attendees in 2012: 58!

Same deal in snowmobiling, guys...though the median age has always been a bit higher for sleds as they are probably even more of a luxury item than bikes.

My wife and I just bought a 2019 Kia Sorento. Man, that is one pleasant vehicle to drive, as are most others these days. Comfortable, safe, reliable.

The open road and knees in the breeze has some serious competition nowadays.

That's a good point. Cars and trucks have become very good, and motorcycles no longer have the performance edge they once did. I once owned a 1993 Taurus SHO. It had 220 HP, which was considered a lot of power back then. Today, 300 HP, 400 HP, or more is common in run of the mill cars and trucks, and they're more reliable than ever. These days, nearly everyone can afford something that's a pleasure to drive. The downside is the roads. Around here they have become terribly congested and are crumbling in places.
