Its amazing how quickly some HD owners become mouthy immature idiots as soon as someone even suggests another motorcycle might possibly have some merits. Its embarrassing to say I ride the same bike as some of them.
Maybe if their loyalty wasn't so blind HD wouldn't think they can put out the minimum because the customers will think its the best regardless. I guess it's easier to conclude yours is the best when you have looked at nothing else. Maybe we would be talking about the new 110ci motors in all of the touring lineup if HD wasn't so sure their customer base wouldn't stray.
HD bikes are great but their owners are sometimes not so great.

Anyway. No comparison to the feel of a Harley. Honda VTX 1300 is probably the closest non Harley bike out there to compare to the ride of a Harley in the mid size range. I have rode a 1300 with Vance and Hines pipes. Pretty snapping going thru the gears and sound was pretty good also.

just had a buddy i ride with- who currently owns the 8-ball- go through this debate between a roadking adn the victory.
I took him to the local dealer and got him in what my opinion is a stealin deal=$17500 out the door on a black 2010 roadking standard.
He ended up buyin the victory with $1000 in free accessories
i just cant get past the look of the rear fender and lights on the victory....
to each his own i guess
he wants to put 16" apes on it...

Looks too Star Trekish for me. I like the old school look of a Harley. Even with their technology upgrades, they have kept most of the traditional styling. I guess that's why they make different brands and styles - to each his or her own.
