Wow, 480 posts (now 481) and some very good discussion going on.

I'm not a fan of the Voyager, I've been on Harleys and Buells for the past 7 years, since I sold my Yammie V-star 1100. My T-Sport put that Yammie to shame. There is a difference with a Harley - those that say there isn't haven't ridden one.

There are thousands of other bikes out there and people will make a case why any of them is better than the next. So go for it, if a k-whacker floats your boat, or a crotch rocket, or a moped, who really gives a rats a$$.

I had a completely blank slate a couple months ago, and a bit of a bank account from a house I sold, I could have bought anything on the market.

I chose the most awesome ride on the planet.... you can see it in my sig. There is nothing better, not even another model of Harley. (in my opinion of course)

Skater, congrats on the Kawai. You got a good deal, especially with all of the mods.

I had a Yamaha Warrior before my HD....although the power was ridiculous with the Yammy, the ride was the selling point with the Harley. I still have a crotch rocket though when I need to go get the speed out.

No regrets. I don't care what you ride, it's all good with me...some nice metrics out there.

I got a 06 roadstar I like to ride once in awhile.I have riden it enough to compare to my harley like 16000 miles and 9500 on this harley.To me the roadstar is a thrill in the curves.I take it a bit easier with the ultra cuz it's a much finer bike.

Harley's make lions roar, metrics don't!

We have a lion rescue place west of us which allows the public to visit. They have about 190 lions and tigers there. When riders visit the place and arrive on Harleys the lions start to roar. The people at the place say that metrics don't get them roaring. When we visited last time the keepers asked us to start up our Harleys to get the lions to roar for the other people visiting. And they did!

So I guess lions know what is cool!
