Quote: i'm by no means bashing their bikes,some of them do look really cool.i just feel they would benefit from a larger range,they don't have anything to compete with sportsters or the 650-750 range jap bikes.let's face it you get more for your money out of a v-star 650 or a shadow 750 than you do 883.
While I can't see buying an 883 when the 1200 is so much more for a little more cash, I wouldn't say they are worse than a vstar 650. Those things couldn't keep up with a 350 Enfield. I'd rather have a Ridley than a vstar. I don't think much of a shadow either.
