HDs are sooooooo over rated and overpriced. Another thing about some of the folks who are really into HD and live and breath every thing "Harley Davidson" Key rings, shirts, wallets, everything with Harley Davidson logos on it. A bunch of posers they look like to me. The friggin bikes are gas hogs too. If you want to waste a ton of money for an image go ahead and buy a HD. I'm not saying they are bad bikes but there are a few American made large street bike companies now that are giving HD some serious competition. They are all overpriced too. Remember if your getting a bike to save gas you'll end up spending the savings on a lot of upkeep. My next bike will most likely be a friggin Moped, a real cheap beat up old moped !
I'll never buy a Harley, but I do like the VRSCAW or FLSTN.
When I do buy a bike hopefully next Summer it will be a
08 Victory Ness with a sidemount license plate and flush mount LED turn signals.
If you buy a HD for the investment fine. If you buy one cause you love to ride fine. Most HD owners have this attitude which is totally unwarrented. It's not what you ride but it's that you ride. Don't care if it's a scooter, a hog, a rice-burner...as long as you're hung out in the wind we're all doing what we love. I'd still take my Yamaha Star over a HD anyday.
I've found that the most vocal HD trashers are the ones jealous they don't have one.
Real bikers don't care what you ride, just that you ride.
In our biking group (gang lol) we have Star's, yamahas, harleys and a couple homemade ones. We just like to ride.
Not fond of the crotch rockets.
And I don't call getting 52 mpg a gas hog.
I've rode with people with about every kind of bike, it doesn't matter what a person rides as long as they don't always push their brand on me, the only bikers I won't ride with is bar hoppers, I won't touch a drop of booze and ride, it's suspose to be about the ride not getting drunk and crashing.

We have one set of friends that do this and want us to ride with them. On the rare occations that we do go with them, we tell them we want to ride in front! We don't drink either.
I prefer the long rides myself.
Most of my friends that bought an 883 soon sold it to get another model, we do have a girl friend that sent one off to get chromed and white pearlized paint though and loves it but she is a small women. I like to ride crotch rockets because of how they handle and the speed factor but would consider getting an FLSTF Fatboy because I like the style and larger front tire for when I'm not shooting the twisties on my GSXR, the fatboy would soot my wife and I on the beach.
