Well, im in the same boat.. if I wanted something that would peak at 220 MPH then I would have bought a crotch rocket.. but I like my face to much for that.. its hard to dodge a car at that speed.. o.O
Exactly. I ride a Harley largely because it's slow. I used to ride a GSXR1000R, as well as a slew of other bikes, some faster than others. I choose to ride Harley because of nostalgia. I adore the fact that my motor was designed (in essence) 74 years ago. Anything that's been around that long must have something right. Harleys are about soul, and feeling, and nostalgia, and belonging. If I wanted to go fast (and lose my license... again), I would ride rice. Motorcycling is about individual expression, not about who's fastest.
'nuff said.
I just sold my GSXR 1000 and picked up an 06 Street Bob last year. I put 10k miles on it before I decided I was done with speed. Fastest I have ever been on the radar was 177MPH. Its crazy, now I like 55 MPH.
Hahah that man right there is butt hurt. Some harley rider musta butt ****ed his mother while he was in the womb haha. Although i did agree with some of his statements his anger just made it all comical.
their bikes suck. they don't hate my harley. they hate that i own a machine. I Love My 07 xl1200r. not because its a Harley. Because i own it and i kick ***. i actually like sportbikes. though i have never actually ridden one yet, they do look fun. But i love my bike. its mine and yours...
