We buy HOGs for the style and comfort, they are made very well in USA, its easy to critisize harley owners but most of these people would be afraid to ride one at 70 mph,

and japanese bikes have had all this stuff for how many years?
as far as made in america..
i like harley style, its just, like so many other things, you pay for the name and really don't get anything that you can't get somewhere else for cheaper. that's why you see so many middle aged, managerial type guys on harleys. not because they're better than anything else, but because of the name. same reason they buy armani suits and escalades. status.

Welcome to the 21st century. When they can take that package and cut the weight in half and double the horsepower, and sell it for $8000, I will buy one.
