To the OP, I'll agree with a lot of what you say. But like someone else already said, that's not why we buy HD. I will argue with you all day long on the quality aspect. There are issues with every make of bike. Honda, Kawasaki, etc., all have some issues. My biggest pet peeve with Honda is all the plastic. If it's chromed, it's plastic. Your problem is you expected something that HD doesn't make, then tried to adapt it to fit YOUR perception, and when you failed you gave up. See ya.

 

It looks like every post this dude made has a negative whiny inflammatory context. Is he/she a career troll?

 

Let's see, you purchased the smallest bike they build and expected the fastest bike on the road, then come here to post a bunch of BS and expect sympathy, are you stupid?
Later.

 

Agree with what been said. You have no idea what you want or you just found it and went way off the mark.
There is nothing to get. I hope you have this feeling now because I can assure you that for us its the feeling when we sit on our bikes and turn them on. No other bike does it. look and feel and all heart. I have sat on a Busa, Ducati and seriously tried to buy a Vic based on reason but in the end when I rode my HD home there was no way I could do it. You either love that or you dont in which case move on.
Best I can say is I hope you feel the same way about your bike as we do about ours. If not then you will never get it.

 

New rider? Obviously an uneducated rider with the unreasonable expectations expressed. Enjoy your 'Busa.

 

Well you've gone from being a Harley rider to Squid. Be careful.

I didn't buy my Harley for performance, I bought it because I like the bike and the riding family that comes with it. If I'm not riding a Harley then I doubt I'll be riding at all.

 

Don't let the door smack your candy *** on the way out , later bud .

 

I think this guy is gonna kill hisself if he gets a 'busa.

 

Why the hell would anyone buy an 883 sportster thinking it was a performance/sport bike?
Don't get it?
More like clueless.

 

You are are entitled to your opinion. I never did like Buell's, they had issue's from day one. Harley's? Not really a world class top notch quality product; they just have a long history and loyal following and many of the followers jump in headfirst to the lifestyle role.
