I will say they don't leak much anymore, fortunately, and the newer bikes do exhibit improved quality and fit/finish. Still, next to a Honda or BMW, they look tremendously unrefined. And if you're riding a thousand miles a day, carrying a passenger behind you, and pushing a windshield and large saddlebags, Harleys are still the bikes to beat.

"a thousand miles a day"
Sorry pard, but my limit is 600.....and I prefer 400.
that said, if one has to log the miles with a lot of gear, HD is the way to go. I'd hate to make a 3 day trip on a rice burner......'cept one of the REALLY big ones.
Size matters......

When I am riding 1K/day with anything, I take my Goldwing, thank you.
