Remember being single? Ok, you meet a chick at the bar, you tell her you ride. What is the first question out of her mouth? 'Nuff said!
There are only two kinds of motorcycles-Harley and everything else.

When you set the standard, everything is "COMPARED TO A HARLEY". You always have to bad mouth the best to justify your junk. I love the line I heard on hear the other day "Show me your Honda tattoo"

But since he's right there is nothing to argue about. they are expensive and slow, compared to some others. If I was buying for speed it wouldn't be an HD. I buy for the shake rattle and roll.

And I dont' go around bashing bikes no matter who makes them. All mfg's have put out junk models and lemons on occasion. It's going to happen to all of them, inlcuding HD. No matter how much tuning or mods done to a vtwin production cruiser, boring out, etc...from any mfg's cruiser vtwin bike, it will still not beat any production sport bike that's around 1000cc or more stock, taken into consideration theboth riders have equivalent skills. So talking about speed of an HD or just about any cruiser compared to most sport bikes is kind of useless.
And if any of you are wondering whya Zuki rider is posting in an HD forum. I belong to several mfg forums. I have to admit, I find this one more entertaining.

I have a co-worker that anytime someone mentions a Harley they just shake their head in discuss and badmouth the bike as American junk, he has a BMW, nice bike and all, but yesterday as he was getting ready to leave work and starting his water cooled beast, a unusal amount of smoke came from the handlebars, the battery exploded, acid all over the bike, his pants caught on fire and he drop the bike. After using the extingusher on him and the bike the only thing I could say was....tee hee

That smoke is REALLY hard to put back in.
I kinda had to laugh that you said an unusual amout, as if ther is normally a small amount that comes out whenever he starts the bike.

That's not always true. I'mliving example. And I can also afford just about anyone of them I'd want to. HD didn't make one bike with all the features I wanted, and the Vrod was the closest, but I didn't like the riding position. I'm just as happy with my ride as you guys are with yours, and I'm just as proud of it as you guys are of yours. I get the same exact feeling when I ride my Zuki as you do when you ride your Harley.

I consider jap bikes as good "training devices" for an H-D....A set of training wheels, so to speak.
Those who choose to stay with jap bikes is a personal choice...No problem
You will find this forum entertaining.....as would a Confederate Soldier stumbling into a Union camp....Welcome!!!!!

RE: Well he's at it again.
I've had many rides in my days. Last was a Honda 1800c great bike no problems nothing. Rode my buddies Ultra, I was sold! One week later I had a Street Glide. They may be good, But there not a Harley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
