RE:
“…Whatever the economic situation of the country you live in, expect to see more and more coming from your preferred manufacturer….”

Right, and the numbers indicate the last quarter GDP was up 2.9%

So, go-get-em all you luxury product craftsmen and women.

Earth to Pinch Saltzberger…. Dahhhh….!!!…. Over?

And this industry of “luxury item” bike builders will disappear just like the “luxury boat” industry did following the “tax the rich” schemes supported by American Leftists.

So keep supporting the NYU Socialist line.

The automotive has been doing and known about the good monetary returns from limited edition models for years and Harley has been successful with their SVO series. Limited Edition models make extra money for the companies however the fine balance is if the manufacturer gets too greedy and over produces then the resale and the aura to stand out disappears. So far Harley has been able to maintain this fine balance.

Burnout – there’s nothing to be ashamed of about riding these types of bikes. The lean angles are really fun, man, and on a road like 129, it is poetry in motion.

I once owned a rare Yamaha OW02 R7 which was a WSB homogolation bike. The story was that Yamaha lost money on everyone.

I’m with ‘burnout’ on the Duc and it is quite good value all considered!

I rode the Tail of the Dragon in NC and TN this past weekend on my cruiser but I am not ashamed to say I would have been stoked to ride the Duc pictured above! peace

Cyril,

Both you, Arlen Ness, Jeff Nicklus, Ron Simms, Joe Martin, Jesse James and many other big name builders have known this for many years! No new news here! People with money always want something to distinguish them from the pack and they are willing to pay for that difference. I say good for them and all of you who can build for the elite!

Gar Out and off to Sturgis!
