I'm not a biker, but I don't see why you're all ragging on Harleys. About 90 percent of the bikes on the road here in AZ are Harleys or some jap bike trying to look like one.

Harley's success is built in the fact that people are not very smart. It is an image. You don't buy the bike you buy the image. Harley's are the slowest, heaviest, most outdated, motorcycles in the world, yet are some of the most expensive. People travel in herds. They hold on to an image that a motorcycle that is still designed on 1966 technology is the best bike to have simply because everyone else has one. Half the price will buy you a better, faster, lighter, more nimble Japanese bike that accelerates, brakes, corners and altogether rides better. Harley-Davidson Company are marketing geniuses that rely on stupidity to sell shirts and hats and latte makers and officially endorsed Harley waffle irons instead of embracing the 21st century.

I remember back in the 70’s – 80’s and all the Jap Crap makers were trying to say the V- Twin was inefficient and obsolete. Now they all have V- twin bikes.
