Creates artificial demand, either you know you have limited time to get one, and what number you might get.

Laidlaw has some good videos if umm you are doing some research on HD's
and otherwise.
I watch a lot of YouTube about everything, even stuff I have no intention to buy. So just imagine how much I’m absorbing about stuff I’ll spend cheddar on! ?Laidlaw has some good videos if umm you are doing some research on HD's

YouTube can be quiet the rabbit hole. I try to avoid it for this reason. But it's helpful in others.
Have to admit there is one guilty pleasure I enjoy from there, which makes no sense to me, and it's watching these drag races at Farmer Lane, they sometimes have cars vs bikes, and sport bikes vrs cruisers, old vr new cars, something about it holds my attention ?

Their dealer network has been awfully patchwork, with everything from little one-man shops to bigger multi-line dealerships. The 'premium' dealer experience, with espresso machines, 'lifestyle' departments selling branded clothing and keychains, and surgically clean shops charging insane hourly rates has been very much missing.bit off topic, but a new guy has been hired to run MV north america, they plan on expanding, here's to hoping

Aprilia has a similar problem in that most of those kinds of shops already sell Ducati and often BMW, so MV would be stepping on their existing lines. Add complex bikes with lots of need for service and an inconsistent support network (both technical and parts availability), and it's a huge potential headache for any established high-end shop for a very low volume item.
Still, the bikes will definitely bring folks through the doors, even if it's just looky-loo's, so if they can improve the support side, I bet we'll see a lot more decent dealers on board...

Most of the members here are average schmoes who love and ride motorcycles. Some just get by, and ride whatever they can afford and some of us have the financial resources to own multiple bikes and don’t flinch at the $20k+ price tags on many new bikes these days.
There is a substantial demographic of wealthy riders (some who may be on here) for whom a limited edition $40k Harley is not unreasonable. Far less than a six-figure $$$ supercar.
You can envy them, but don’t resent them. It looks petty and serves no purpose.
Look at it as a collectable piece of art, produced in limited numbers, that happens to be a functional motorcycle. I have no problem understanding why they are desirable and why they will sell out this bike and every other in the Icon series.
