Harley-Davidson as an investment

Precious metal

The most stable motorcycles on the market come from Harley-Davidson

It's enough to make you tear your hair out: some things that were bought yesterday are already considered obsolete today, are worth half as much tomorrow and are already irreparably defective the day after tomorrow.

The times when real value was created and preserved seem to be over, and it's no fun at all...

Fortunately, the Motor Company Council: It recommends investing in Bikes made in the USA. This system not only provides plenty of good vibrations in your life, it is also extremely economical, as the motorcycles with the lowest depreciation come from Harley-Davidson.

This has just been announced by EurotaxSchwacke, the independent information service provider for automotive market data and analyses.

The German data experts took a close look at almost 500 motorcycles from 125 to 2,300 cubic centimeters in terms of purchase and sales value as well as residual value. The result: the resale value of the bikes from Harley-Davidson at the highest level. For example, the US brand came top of the used price rankings for two-year-old motorcycles with eighteen models.

With a residual value of 87.6 percent after two years, the Street Glide the most stable motorcycle in terms of value in Germany.

In 2nd and 3rd place are the Forty-Eight with 87.3 and the Dyna Street Bob with 87.1 percent.

In the ranking of the top 25 two-year-olds with the most stable residual values, only one place goes to the competition.

The situation is almost identical in the market overview of older models: 23 of the 25 most stable three-year-old motorcycles also come from the Brand from Milwaukee, USA.

That Harley-Davidson Harley riders are not the only ones who know that Harley also manufactures extremely reliable and durable machines with a maintenance-friendly design; it has also been confirmed time and again in independent tests.

The Road King, for example, has been unbeaten as the „endurance test king“ of the German trade magazine „Motorrad“ since 2008.

It achieved the best result ever recorded in this 50,000-kilometer marathon, which has been running for decades and relentlessly exposes shortcomings in terms of technology and quality.
