I notice they've marketed it to a younger demographic than the Harley. While they retain the outlaw image, they've thrown in an undercurrent of Manga, which positions it slightly away from the Harley, "American Iron," and into the "cutting edge, Japanese ninja outlaw" genre. It's not aimed at the guys who have bought into the Harley mystique, but at younger riders who like the cruiser concept, but view Harleys as an "old guy's bike."
No, sir, I haven't. That's why I was flabbergasted to read the price. You can get a decent small-sized car for that amount, and I can't see spending that kind of money for a little bike when you can get a car instead.
