Why would you find this kind of real world experience hilarious? You think we're lying? Or do you disagree but don't have facts to support your disagreement, therefore feel you must attack those with opinions other than your own by categorizing them as hilarious?

 

I've owned and rode several Honda's. Hadn't ridden a Harley until I had my last Honda and a buddy let me ride his Road King. All of my Honda's felt similar and I didn't know any different. After that first ride on a Harley, I realized a big difference. I think I can sum up the original question about the "metric feel" in one word. Before I write it, I will say that I enjoyed all of the Honda's but really liked the "feel" of the Harley.

You may disagree with me on what I believe to be the "feels like a metric" word but I think it sums it up fairly. That word is........"Tinny" (like tin vs. steel). controls felt sloppy, shifter felt sloppy, even the ride feels different to me etc...

Not knocking any metrics and have only my own experience to compare with but in my opinion, there is a big difference in how a metric bike feels compared with a Harley.

Have at it!

 

LMAO then that would mean slang for "Harley and Indian also, since mine take metric and standard tools

 

If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand

 

Took my comment personally, did you?

Speaks volumes about you, Skippy.

 

It may be a metric thread...But it is still a Harley Davidson Forum

 

The way I look at it ride what you please, I don't care I have rode other bikes and owned metric bikes but none feel like my Harley does but that's just me.

 

Cmon Fonze, Really...i give a chit what you have to say..cool jacket man....lol...Hey shouldnt you be riding a Triumph?

 

Well, Carry on with the crying then

 

Of course you care what I say...

That's why you took offense at my first comment, and will be compelled to keep coming back here to see what else I have to say...

Here's to the good times...
