The simple fact is they focused far too much on appealing to a very narrow group of people.. You know week end bikers who wanted a pre bought bike with lots of crome so they could buy all the costume gear and go be biker criminals for the week end..
They over built with show rooms and dealers all over the place while catering to this specific group of people and then failed to look toward to future..
My bet in 10 years they will be owned by the Chinese. If they were smart they'd be actively trying to push their product in China because HD is kinda known as a so called outlaw American product and that would sell extremely well in the Asian market.

U.S. hiring picked up in January and wages rose at the fastest annual pace since the recession ended, as the economy?s steady move toward full employment extended into 2018.
Nonfarm payrolls rose 200,000 -- compared with the median estimate of economists for a 180,000 increase -- after an upwardly revised 160,000 advance, Labor Department figures showed Friday. The jobless rate held at 4.1 percent, matching the lowest since 2000,
while average hourly earnings rose a more-than-expected 2.9 percent from a year earlier, the most since June 2009.
