Yup it's funny how Harley riders are willing to be inclusive of the metrics but somehow they are told that they have some kind of attitude while the metric riders are out there screaming at the top of their lungs how much better their bikes are, whereas people just aren't buying into it.

I have lots of people come in on the Metric Cruisers and the number one request is "Make it sound like a Harley". They then always follow it up with "I really wanted a Harley but couldn't afford it so I will ride this until I can".

Let's hear how much great those metrics are when the only thing it comes down to is what people want and what they are willing to pay for it. The Harleys are what people want and they are willing to pay more for it.

Yup.
It's just like the "liberals" who really aren't "liberal" at all.

[must be why HD riders are mostly "conservatives"]..;))

Didn't Harley actually patent their sound?
Or try to, after everybody [and their dog] tried to imitate it?

Who cares about metrics. I don't want a Harley and I don't want a Japanese imitation of one. Now lets see Harley beat the Japanese at their game, in any other class of bikes. I don't think they could, even if they wanted to.
