Never owned one never will (except maybe an MX 250 ). To me they look and sound agricultural and in my work i can tell you they are unrealible and fall over a lot ( hey its great for buisness ) .
It seems and many owners of other brands will agree that harley owners (or is it just harley riders) have an attitude and dont acknowledge other riders on the road WTF is that about
are they really that embarrased or just dissapointed with their ride
I take my hat off to the harley marketing dept though , they really have done a number in convincing thousands of middle aged blokes that if they ride a harley and get some tough stickers instant cool
Yes i have ridden a couple of harleys and compared to jap bikes half the capacity they were SLOW ( good thing really because the brakes were shit ) HEAVY, and handled like a loaded wheel barrow with a flat tyre.
Obviously some people get the best out them , Marc posted a pic in another thread of a bloke racing one at Wanganui , that bloke rides the wheels off that thing and runs mid pack . To me that shows HE the rider has talent and on a Jap or Italian bike would probably run up front.
Hey Canam maybe you should add Nathans sugestion to the poll , as not a lot of people are voting on the current options
