I think Harley will have to contend with Indian rather than a shrinking audience. Up until 2013 when Polaris introduced the new Chief, Harley reigned supreme. Since Indian came to town Harley has been caught by a crafty competitor. "America's Oldest Motorcycle Company" first made me laugh since the real Indian Motorcycle Company went belly up in 1953. It's not so funny now as many gullible buyers have embraced the Slogan with both arms. It isn't impossible to think that every one of Harley's lost sales is another Indian sold.

Seems that the rise of Indian has also impacted sales of Japanese vee twins too. They have shifted attention to ADV bikes and scramblers.
