"Harley-Davidson sales are struggling 'because millennials don't like riding motorcycles'"

Via InstapunditAlliance Bernstein analyst David Beckel said in the report, obtained by CNBC, that data showed millennials just weren't developing a passion for motorcycle riding the way previous generations have done.

Beckel added that, 'Gen Y's are aging into the important "pre-family" cohort of riders and Boomers are increasingly handing over their keys to the smaller Gen X population.'

The 'pre-family' age group was defined as age 25 to 35 and is Harley's target demographic.

Many of them don't drive either. They don't know how.

I notice some of them can't even ride a bicycle without fiddling with their phones.
