If you haven't noticed, the economy isn't great for the vast majority of folks. Inflation is still sky-high; wages have been stagnant for the vast majority of the planet since the 1990s; tariffs have caused everything to become more expensive; gasoline is at an all-time high due to idiotic Middle East conflicts and their subsequent fallout; and jobs are...being held onto for dear life, which is never good for anyone.
Add that interest rates are trash, and average new vehicle costs and monthly payments are through the roof, and, well, yeah, things aren't all sunshine and roses for most folks. That reality, however, is finally starting to affect the optimism of the powersports industry, which is known to be an indicator of consumer confidence; as for the most part, these machines and their accessories are toys.
