Actually, its not even this.. There are loads of young guys or mid aged people that ride non crotch rockets but they want custom looking bikes. They want stuff like choppers inc made or custom looking bobbers or cafe racers.

HD has failed to innovate.. they build the same plain jane looking bike that they've built for years.. No one wants big ass bikes with full fairings and suitcases on the sides.. Thats like trying to sell a station wagon to a 20 year old..
