They pulled production out of Ohio because GW sales were shrinking and that factory was better served for other profitable business. They need to get younger riders onboard if they are to survive. My son is a good example. He makes good money and rides a 750 because with mortgage, family, and other obligations a $30,000 Wing or Spyder is NOT an option. Fortunately he has found an affordable 750 that rides, handles, and is comfy for two up touring. This is now the market. Spyders, Wings, and $40K HD's are becoming the exception and smaller more affordable machines are the future. Even the hot market for the big adventure bikes is starting to cool as people are buying the smaller alternatives. Cubic inches no longer sells cars and it isn't going to sell bikes much longer either.
