That seems very cheap.

Have you enquired to see if it's genuine or just a mistake?

Does seem cheap, but when you factor in the chaps and parking spot down the Blue Oyster Club, maybe not so cheap! !

The only snag is, it’s a Harley.

Shame it's for a full 48 months - if it had been 24 months, I may have been tempted just to experience a Harley.

But 4 years is a lot. It would end up in my lockup not being ridden.

I think I would pay £50 per month not to own one. An utter abortion design-wise.

Looks just like I'd expect a Harley to look!

Like above if it was a couple of years I'd sign up and just use it for touring around on b and c roads admiring the view, it looks ok to be honest for the cash and has decent reviews for what it is, even the option to purchase is low at the end of term so I don't think you can lose out financially.

I hate Harleys for some unfathomable reason but I am tempted to be honest, maybe I should revisit in the morning when I have sobered up!

That's because the Honda was designed to mimic the Harley flat track racers!

Back then they raced proper Harleys, none of that Commie water-cooled junk. smile

Not my cup of tea but anyway, it is very cheap. HD must be packing a bit of inventory behind the scenes, or it's an interesting longer term marketing strategy where they bombard you with lifestyle content for four years and then you take up another PCP on a Fatslob or whatever the next one up in the range is.

They must be punching these out of the factory in India for next to nothing too.

I suspect its just a way of Pendragon clearing stock to hit volume targets more than anyhting else.

Do they have a similar deal with the Street Rod, that's the one above the 750, looks a really interesting bike to me, lifted up so you can properly lean it into corners, supposedly the handling is quite good.

H-D have a long history of trying to entice new riders into the fold in the hope of inspiring brand loyalty.

I believe they still have the deal in the US whereby if you buy a new Sportster then part exchange it against a new Big Twin within a year, you get the full purchase price back.


On the other hand, it may just be that nobody is buying the 750s. smile

£50 is nothing but I think I’m in the same boat as most. It wouldn’t get ridden after the novelty has worn off. A 750 Harley probably produces about the same power as a 125.

That'll be 3 times the average Harley rider's mileage!
