Why are younger people choosing not to buy or even ride moto

>>136107448
Because they prefer the safety of a car over the freedom of a bike.

It's a hobby, not a legitimate mode of transportation.

My bike has sat in my driveway for a year because I've had better things to do. Don't get me wrong, it's great. But yeah. It's a hobby that you have to invest extra time and money in beyond just having a car.

IDK, I don't like cruisers or Harley Davidson much, too. They break down all the time, and I just don't like the style of the bikes.

Not to mention most Millennials are pussies and Liberals. Riding a bike is manly and badass. They're scared of loud noises, it reminds them and gives them PTSD from hearing something similar to guns going off from the movies they've seen.

>>136108110
Ultra-quiet bikes are an interesting niche. Like Honda Goldwings with extra muffling to make them even quieter. Apparently they were the preferred motorcycle of hitmen in various Latin countries because you could avoid making noise as you fled.

Rg500 was fun.
I gave up riding, there's too much traffic and too many speed cams.
Used to go out on a sunday it was quiet and you could ride fast, no chance now.

>>136107448
In europé, they've made it expensive af + you have to be at leadt 25 years old to get a license for 1000cc bikes.

If you ride a bike in the city it has to be a Sunday drive type thing, too much traffic and too many people that don't know how to drive.

>loud things are good and manly

I want to gas everyone who thinks like this. You're no better than the niggers blasting rap music on the street.

It got associated with mid life crisis pathetic men trying to restore their masculinity with an expensive motorcycle. They would buy biker gear, which they would then start wearing around other places, so people knew how badass you were. These men were taken in by advertising and feel-good stories about how having a crotch rocket restored a mans masculinity and made him harder and cooler than ever before. This midlife crisis is similar to some how older men will buy an expensive bicycle and Lycra, but somewhat less gay, and a lot more expensive.

Then people realised motorcycles weren't that practical either and you were likely to become an organ donor and wouldn't even be considered cool in the process. That all being said you would think high gas prices would have helped drive usage towards them, but apparently not.

Harley Davidson's troubles are more of a result of them sucking cock than the market as a whole.

>Why are Millennials failing to keep the motorcycle tradition alive - a tradition that has lasted for a century?

Motorcycle is in the end toy, it isn't practical form of transport. Most millennials don't have disposable income expensive toys, they are paying for their student loans and shieet.

There are basically two kinds of people that buy motorcycles. Young men, there are less of those than there used to be and men with middle age crisis, since babyboomers are now older if they want motorcycle they already probably have one, new people dealing with middle age crisis are gen-x, there are less of those than boomers.

Young men prefer crotchrockets over Harleys. Even if someone wants something similar to Harley, Japanese manufacturers can offer it with better built quality, reliability and cheaper price tag. Only thing that keeps Harley-Davidson alive is brand and drug fueled criminal lifestyle it is associated with. Basically guy who buys Harley is middle aged engineer that regrets that he didn't become hells angel.

>>136114728

Motorcycles are practically free compared to cars.

>>136107448
I have my motorcycle license and I had a honda cbr600rr. I stopped riding because I don't trust other drivers. People are morons, too absorbed by their smart phones to pay attention to the road ahead of them. On a country road or riding through the Appalachian mountains on the back of a bike was a thrill like no other. Unfortunately my daily commute has me on interstates and surface streets. Not worth dying because some roastie couldn't stop texting for five seconds.

Something like a Honda Shadow is a far superior bike.

>buy motorbike
>no garage because I'm not a corruot boomer
>bike gets stolen

Cuz I'm the auto industry's cuck.

Even back in the 80's I observed that all the people who were longtime motorcycle riders (i.e. had survived doing it for a while) were super careful all the time on the road.

I said to myself, what's the fun in that? Easier to relax and just drive my car. Got an old used 911 for kicks, was an expensive PITA but I didn't take personal risk.

Pretty much because of the same reason kid playgrounds are covered with foam and floored with rubber. It's all because driving a car is safer than a bike, so it sells quite less; people have now a constant fear of getting hurt. If it has a risk, however minimal is it, people now avoid it, no matter how fun it can be.

>>136107448
I guess in the US, where roads are large as fuck and you can easily drive your humvee on four lane roads in any city center, two wheeled vehicles aren't a necessity, but rather something you do for your enjoyment.

In yurop, where cities are old and roads are abolutely tiny, it's absolutely impossible to go about your daily life with a car. That's why I ride a motorcycle, albeit it's a 125cc because I don't have a motorcycle license, which is stupid, because the power of the vehicle doesn't change how dangerous it is for you to drive it. But our politicians are retarded motherfuckers who just want an excuse to ban everything they can while taxing the shit out of people at every opportunity.
Anyway, most people here drive on scooters, the market for 125 keeps increasing every year.

Used to work in an Emergency Room. There is no amount of money you could pay me to ever get on a motorbike after I saw some of those injuries. They are grossly and disproportionately dangerous. An accident that would result in minor injuries in a car ends up being either fatal or results in horrific injuries on a bike.

Motorcycles are targeted towards babyboomers and the companies didn't shift their marketing to target a new demographic. A lot of companies are starting to fall into this trap because now boomers are getting out of the age where they still use these products.

Harley is a great example of this. I live in PA and everyone and their fucking brother rides a Harley because the plant is right down the street. But the thing is, they're all boomers. Harley didn't market towards the Millennials and now a lot of boomers are getting too old to ride.

this is the one thing jew park got right.

Because I live in a cali overrun by spics and chinks and I don't wanna die by their shitty driving skills

Impractical and expensive at the same time.
Yeah, it would be fun to have a motorcycle to occasionally ride around. But to pay huge money for something that is completely useless when compared to a car which has the tiny extra of not having to catch large bugs using your face... yeah, no.

Being dependant on a car also means if you ever experience a breakdown you might lose your fucking job too.

Good luck explaining to Mr. Shekelkike that you can't come into work for a week because your engine detonated.

The sidecar is the only thing preventing you from dying, and most bikers don't have one.

Plus isn't it fucking freezing cold?

>why aren't millennials buying bikes
>why aren't millennials buying houses
>why aren't millennials doing x
Being this fucking dumb instead of researching what millennials actually are purchasing/doing and investing in/catering to that. You fuckers deserve to go out of business.

People who drive motorcycles are attention seeking faggots.

They drive down the street making as much noise as possible so people will look at them and they will feel important

If motorcycles were banned today the world would be a much better place.

Wear a big coat. Pic was taken in 10f. Anything below freezing gets pretty chilly very quickly however, so I don't go too far.
>tfw gets -30f during the winter
>still ride down the street to my favorite coffee shop

Harley davidson deserves the drop they overprice their products,I like it but super expensive

Taxi, Uber, bus, train, friend, family, co-worker. Really you absolutely can't make it into work?

>>136107448
Because they're as gay as they are fucking retarded.
Bikers, in particular, are seen as dumb irrelevant old faggots.

>>136125118
If your commute is 1+ hour and not on a bus/train route those options aren't really available without spending $200/day on taxis or heavily burdening your friends and family who likely don't have time for that shit themselves.

Why buy a bike and have it break down in a year while you can ride a bike in a videogame

That's from Harley riders who are fat old guys or tryhard losers whose first order of business is removing their mufflers. Most people my age who ride own crotch rockets. I'm not a big fan of them either, but at least they have mufflers and are quiet when not revved hard.

I personally am a big fan of 70s era jap bikes. Pic is my 81 Kawasaki 440 LTD. gets 55mpg and isn't loud or showy at all

Ironically enough if they were in a car they'd be both dead, or worse trapped for hours in a tiny pocket of twisted metal plates. In agony. And then they'd die.

Because HD is pure obese boomer midlife 9-5 fan club. This is HDs demographic and they embraced it.

Now they blame millennials for shit sales? Lol dated tech at a premium price why wouldn't I buy an Indian or Honda.

Your dad's Harley isn't cool. Go to any college or HS campus and you will have pussy flock to you on a sport bike regardless of brand. Millennials don't have the extra dosh to blow on a HD.

HD can get fucked. They will die off with the boomers.

How about a Honda Dominator?

>>136119573
Way cheaper than car tires, aren't they?
Also, my day to day bike is a 150cc yamaha, best vehicle for congestioned city traffic.

Also, what's a cager?

>>136107448
Because they're pussies who get a rush from drinking a Red Bull, rather than actually feeling something that reminds them they're alive.

It's not a solution but it's heading there.... if you have had it happen twice then you are not noticing the dangers. You may need to tune your ESP Ameribro

I'm more a CB750 guy, but they're uncommon in my area. Seen a few that have been butchered, but I want stock.

Or a well done cafe racer.

Interesting that no one bats an eyelid at kids riding horses .. but a bike is a death machine.
Pushbikes too!

Depends where you live I guess. Mine is my main transport but if I lived anywhere else I probably wouldn't use it as much.
