The American motorcycle industry continues to soften, as Harley-Davidson has reported its Q2 2018 sales were down 6.4% in the United States. That loss translated into a noticeable drop in Harley-Davidson’s total sales, which were down 3.6% for Q2, though it should be noted that international sales were in fact up, 0.7% over the same time period. This translates into 46,490 Harley-Davidson motorcycles sold in the USA for Q2, with 78,428 bikes sold in total around the world. For the first half of the year though, sales results for Harley-Davidson are looking even worse. For the first six months of 2018, Harley-Davidson sold 129,514 motorcycles worldwide, of which 75,799 were sold in the United States. This equates to a 5.1% drop in sales globally, with an 8.7% drop in USA sales for the first six months of 2018.
