Default Buy a Harley?

Please sorry for mistakes in writting.
I need help from expirienced riders. I just decideed between japanese bike and Harley Nightster in favor Nightster, but today I spoke to some guy which used to live in America and out there drove few bikes and two of them were Harleys. He told me that Harley is worst bike in the world, that I shold buy anything but Harley, that Harley is very often broken, something come off, has electric problems, that Harley has very, very bad handling on the road. He sad that Harley is nothing but myth which is created by riders whose never rode anything but Harley. What can I tell you, I am crazy and worried. What to do? Now, I dont know anything.
I hope that You understand what I want to say here.

Yeah the myth was founded a long time ago when Harleys were owned by AMC, they used to say, have a harleyyou needa pickup to haul it in. Now days Harleys are very reliable bikes and the sportster lineup (nightsters) are very nice machines and handle very well. You will love the bike and if you do the maintenance like you should you will have many a carefree mile.
Harley is the best bike in the world, closer to the truth. But bear in mind I am alongtime Harley lover...

As stated above, Harley went through a time period of poor quality.
That period is over.
Today's Harley's are very good machines.

I love my harley!

Harley-Davidson was owned for about 17 yearsby AMF, the bowling-alley manufacturing corporation. Think well of them, their huge infusions of cash kept the dream alive for today's riders.

If you spoke to some guy and he told you "to jump off a bridge" would you do it?
