Why would that be "disturbing"? It's not complicated; the "relative lack of sophistication" is awfully appealing to some. My disquiet boils down to cost - if a FatBoy was $15k instead of $22k+, no sweat.
Alternatively, if a 180hp, 186 mph Yamaha R1 was $25k, I'd probably be less critical of HD.
To me, it's the same as selling a Dodge Ram diesel for twice as much as a Porsche 911.
Point taken.
I think I paid a little less than $15k for mine; waited about 4.5 months and refused to pay bribes like some.
I don't think either of us are impressed by driveway jewelry, but as long as a 2-wheel scoot is ridden, I don't care what people ride.
Unless it's a pussy scooter, of course.
