sorry to say it, but the "harley faithful" and willie G are dinasours. they need to get with the times. i love my heritage, but harley still has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many issues for this day and age (especially when compared to the reliability of the metrics)
if there were no "harley legend" and they had to stand on quality alone, they would be out of business. a harley isnt "junk". but they are not as good as they SHOULD AND COULD be.
for $20,000 i shouldnt have to see a mechanic for ANYTHING other than oil changes every 5k.

I only can speak for Belgium, since every European country has it's own taxing fee:
it's indeed based on engine size, but -in belgium at least- the fee is fixed for engines of 1000 cc (about 62 ci) or more, so it's the same fee for a vrod as for a bigtwin. For engines less than 1000cc, the taxing fee depends indeed on the engine size.
I think there are more vrods and sporty's in Europe because most motorcycle riders here prever to go fast. Which is not my way of riding though...

For me... you can't get more reliable than that... What say you?
One question for you though... ahhhhh... does these metric dealerships have service departments and if they do... why?

Don't you love the Venture's top-heaviness, legendary tranny whine and state of the art cassette player?
