[highlight]niche [/highlight]motorcycle maker Harley- Davidson

that makes it sound like they're making some kinda boutique mc or something. I know the CVO's appeal to a limited audience, but, surely with all the different models that the MOCO offers, there's something for most riders. Am I in left field on this? [smiley=nixweiss.gif] spyder

Think about it , H-D only has three main engine sizes and the CVO models. Honda, Suzuki, Kawaskai, Yamaha make bikes from 50CC to 1800CC in a huge variety of styles and price range. To anyone who doesn't own or care about motorcycles, H-D would appear to be a niche manufacturer specializing in heavy-weight motorcycles.

I would consider it to be a "Niche Market", as opposed to a "Niche Manufacturer." JMO. Later--HUBBARD
