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.
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.
