Sidi On Roads are my favorite boot ever and just about at your price point. If you shopped around you can get them cheaper than MSRP, probably around 300 give or take.
I wear them on my Ultra and everything else I ride. Two thumbs up

I would classify most of the boots sold at the local HD dealership as non technical since most are more style than function and do not contain internal armor.

Sidi, TCX and Alpine Stars are the main manufacturers of motorcycle specific footwear and are carried by just about everyone. Check www.revzilla.com , www.ridersdiscount.com , www.newenough.com , www.motorcycle-superstore.com, www.cyclegear.com , www.compacc.com , etc..

+1!! I was wondering if someone was going to raise the armor issue as the differentiator between real motorcycle boots and boots that work when riding a motorcycle. I don't feel as bullet proof as I once did so I've been wearing Sidi boots for the last several years. I've had excellent service dealing with Revzilla. They have great video product reviews so it's a great place to research the different product lines.
