I was outside on break with a co-worker once at a place I used to work, and we were looking at the the bikes in the motorcycle parking area. The guy was a Harley fan, and had pointed out a Ducati 916 saying,Originally Posted by Georgef
"Who the hell is the guy that can afford the Ducati? If he can afford that thing, he can surely afford a Harley. Does he think he's too good for a Harley or something?"
I said something along the lines of, "Unless I'm mistaken, most of the Harleys parked out there probably cost about twice as much as that Ducati, so why did those guys buy a Harley instead?"
I realize that Harleys for the most part retain a lot of their resale value, but I have to wonder how much that factor plays into it for some when considering what bike to purchase when they have no idea how much some other brands even cost.
Two nice rides in the photo though. I saw a lot of Ducs a few years back when I took a side trip to visit The Dragon at Deal's Gap on a drive back from Florida.
