Look HD makes nice bikes, but very differnt bikes from what most people that frequent this site like to ride. People that really like to "drive" motorcycles feel the shortcommings of the chunky cruisers. The big raod bikes I find very smooth and comfortable, HD has really come along way in the last 20 years. But the price tag is REDICULOUS.
The street bobs and sportsters, on the other hand, are pretty lacking in alot of ways. And the price is still nuts. The screaming eagle Night Rod it a nice looking bike that will haul ass, but agian you have to pay to play with HD.
From a durability, cost, and performance stand point, there is a reason that police bike you drive was built for so many years. Just imagine if HD still built the same crap they made in the Late 70's... not a chance. The competiton between the Japaneese manufacturers in the 70's and 80's produced some of the best bikes ever, others got left far behind and held on to nostalgia. Just the way it is.
If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.

Out of the mouths of babes :laugh:
IMHO, you have to really want to be part of the "Social Experience" in order to overlook the glaring faults in the Harleys.
Victory is another matter, I really like the Victory Tour.

I find it quite intersting that the Universal Japanese Motorcycle is now seen as "unique" and "old school". I am surprized at the number of people that comment on my Old kz650, never expected anyone would notice what it was. I just built it becasue it wanted to hear that beautiful exhaust note form an air cooled 4 again. When I used to ride a KZ 1000 back in high school they were cheap as hell and nobody cared what it was (I really wish I would have kept that bike). Shit just look what a CB750 goes for on ebay nowadays. Who would have thought?

When yours, it could have been.
