Harley-Davidson
Posted on | February 26, 2010 | No Comments
It’s commonly accepted that Harley-Davidson has the best resale value (as a generic rule) among all motorcycle brands. However, there’s even a more generic rule for re-sale value. The most popular motorcycles and vehicles have the best resale value.
Why? Well, they are popular for a reason. It goes back to the basic economic principles of supply and demand. If a motorcycle has a highly popular launch, it’s more likely to be remembered in 50 years and it’s more likely to maintain a higher value. High demand drives the price up!
