Wadda maroon! No performance? My Softail will run an easy breathing tonne up with 2 gears to go, meaning I could get a 'go directly to jail (geol)' ticket anywhere in North America with it if I really wanted to. That's performance enough for me.
Unreliable? The parts that break the most are made in Japan by the same people that supply the wonderful rice burners. If Japan.inc hadn't killed off all the US parts suppliers by market dumping, maybe Harley would be more reliable instead of just equal to the cheaply made imports.
Outdated styling? Why then, is everyone in Japan and China trying so hard to copy them?
