Why January & February is the Best Time to Buy a Motorcycle

Image
  For most of us living in the United States, it’s currently too snowy, bitterly cold, or flat out brutal in one way or another to ride. As if the weather isn’t enough to get you down, the post-holiday blues may be settling in, which may come with a hefty credit card bill. All of these events mean one thing.  Now is the PERFECT time to buy a motorcycle! This seems completely absurd and contradictory. Riding a bike in the dead of winter is the last thing most people think about! Buying one may seem like the dumbest thing you can do. Allow me to paint you a picture to spark your imagination...

While there's been a mixture of intrigue, optimism, and skepticism of the brand rolling out an electric bicycle, it's obvious that it stumbled out of the gate almost immediately.  Serial 1, which falls under the H-D brand, unveiled more details of its bicycle lineup and posted three commercials showcasing pre-pandemic use.  The reception was lukewarm, to say the least. To make matters worse, the company revealed details that its customer base will not be in favor of. BIGGEST PROBLEM Harley's motorcycles are an American-made icon which is one of the main reasons why people are returning customers.
