I haven't posted in a while and thought...this has actually been a really good thread, this is how we should act towards our other non-HD riders, on some level I think the prevailing attitude has cooled off and we're not at each others' jugulars over brand, kind of remeinds me of the pickup truck wars we had about 20 years ago.

Good show dudes!

 

This is a double post...same thread, same responses from the thread maker in General Harley Chat.

I have both the Harley Deluxe and the 1700 midnight road star, both are 2006. If I sell my HD I will lose $6,000 and if I sell the yammie, 3,200. I know because I have had several officer on both bikes. No HD resale greats out there. I am keeping them both as they are both fine bikes. One problem, all of my gear says "Harley" and it looks odd on my Roady....Who cares what one rides anyhow. A bike is not an investment anymore.

 

I've owned a couple of them.. nice bikes BUT there's a BIG difference in the actual ride quality itself from a personal experience although perhaps they've improved in past couple of years.

 

OK guys..... twice this AM I have jumped into a 5 y/o thread! This time on purpose. Since I rode a Roadie for 7 years before my first King what would be interesting here is if OP caught this and updated us on his buddy.

Is he still on the Silverado? Did he succumb to the teasing, ribbing and buy an HD? Inquiring minds want to know!

 

The best bike is the one between your legs. Ride and enjoy

 

How do you guys find these threads that are 5 years old?

 

Nope he kept his bike and does not ride any more. Not sure why. We lost track over the years

 

I the the Roadstar is actually a better bike in general. The problem with Roadkings are the design flaws such as the cam chain that lead to engine failure. You don't have these problems with the Roadstar and the bike is half the price. Harley knows about these problems but it's big business not to fix them. People will continue to buy Harley because they believe they are made in America and all the other romantic allure. I give credit to Harley for capturing the hearts and souls through brilliant marketing. I like to ride not blow money. I'm amazed at how many people get sucked into the Harley thing.
Just my opinion
