Nomads not popular?!

Intelligent well read [MC mags.] individuals, ride the best MC on the planet. I've had HD riders try my Nomad, and they raved about it. But they almost always say they would own one if it said HD on it. That is so pathetic. But HD does have the best ads. Seen the new one for the superlow?

If the American car makers can match import prices quality for quality what is HD's problem I would think the people that buy them must know how bad their getting shafted but just have to have HD

Nomads not popular?!

Here in Germany where motorcycles are very popular, there are a lot more HDs on the road that Nomads or any other type of Japanese cruisers. They are all sold here but the HD is fashionable and to a German, adhering to “the in thing” is very important. The prices for HDs are much, much higher than the metrics but again, driving the “in” machine is important. I can probably count on two hands the number of Nomads I’ve seen on German roads. I’ve only seen two of the most recent edition Nomad. My dealer says that the 900cc are the best sellers in the cruiser market for him.

One sees lots of Japanese crotch-rockets of all brands and the occasional Buell as well as lots of BMWs. Interestingly enough, scooters are being more and more popular here, especially the three-wheelers.
