Threats • The European Union’s motorcycles noise standards. • Risk of small custom bikes manufacturers joining the big companies. • Competitors are all from Japan & have more affordable and diversify range of bikes • Decreasing brand loyalty means the buying decisions are increasingly based on PRICE & PERFORMANCE. • Harleys average buying age is 42 years old and increasing.
