Seems logical, doesn't it? Honda started out as a motorcycle company and made a very successful transition into the auto market. Even suzuki makes cars. You'd think a huge company like Harley could easily transition into the market. I think a Harley car with loud pipes would sell like hot cakes. I mean, who doesn't like Harleys?

Forget cars they should make vibrators.

80% of the market for motorcycles doesn't like harley's or at least favors a japanese brand. Because 80% of all motorcycles sold are japanese whith Honda having the largest overall owner base. And well... look at the current situation with with american cars vs. japanese cars. People don't like american cars either and I highly doubt harley could change that with their already dubious reputation for overall quality.

Well Harley only knows how to make one engine. Maybe if they put that engine in one of those cool Mexican golf carts and all those dorks buying trikes could have a little Harley car instead....might work. Harley's aging customer base might make this a necessity. I predict it is gonna happen.
Imagine 80 year olds in their black Harley brand get-ups lumbering around in loud Harley mini-coopers that leak oil and vibrate like the dickens. Imagine when the biker broad gets out...the blue saggy tattoos, the black Harley walker, black Harley thong and black Harley bikini top. And the old dude in black leather chaps and coke bottle glasses with Harley frames.

Because when they were bought by AMF: 1967-1981, Harley tried to get into manufacturing everything & nearly lost the entire company down the toilet. Thankfully AMF was kicked to the curb by Harley consumers & quality control came back to what HD should stick to: making reliable motorcycles without parts that break down or leak everywhere. They made a deal with Ford to put they HD name on the Ford F-150 (and ANYONE else who would buy their trademark; you can get 'Harley" anything now).
DONT GIVE THEM ANYMORE IDEAS

Anyone who says they would be too expensive sure have their head up their a**. Look at Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Maserati, Pagani, Jaguar, Porsche, there's actually more car makers that make expensive cars than car makers that don't. What a bunch of tards...

Why? They thought about it, of course, and decided they should first try to build a descent motorcycle. Has not happened yet. Like Honda, when they are able to master the motorcycle, they may well move on to cars.

Yet again you prove what a waste of space you are. What an idiot.
Besides HD just lets another company badge a vehicle. Isn't it Ford who has a HD F series truck. Harley gets cash from that. They do not need to build anything else.

Harley Davidson used to make Golf Carts and Snowmobiles. Neither were successful, and they quit. Can you imagine the slams that would result? It's bad enough the narrow minded wannabes put down the bikes they would give themselves headaches making up stuff about Harley cars.
See what I mean? It's started already.

Harley considered the idea, but they were going to import about 50% of the parts from foreign countries, just like they do with their bikes. Turns out china was already sending Harley so many "quality" made parts already that they didn't have enough resources in the country for Harley to make cars with.

Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha are all Japanese industrial giants, they make many other products besides motorcycles and cars. Just because they do it is no reason for HD to do it.
