I own and ride 3 motorcycles, none Harleys. I refuse to pay twice the price for half the bike. My choices, 1985 Honda SX 65 Sabre, 2001 Yamaha Roadstar Warrior, [you know, the bike that beats the V-Rod every year in the NHRA Nationals in the Hot Rod Cruiser Class], and a 2001 Kawasaki Mean Streak, now, my pride and joy is a 1893 Holland & Holland, Royal in 12g, but I won't throw it across the handlebars of any motorcycle.
"The only difference between a Harley and a Hoover...the position of the dirt bag". :o)
no offense,
