Hey now Chet, youre the one picking a harley over a yamaha based on the nationality of the manufacturer like theres only 2 places to buy from. The quality of the bike doesnt concern you because its a rice burner.

That kinda mentality just rubs me the wrong way. I could see if we were talking about a cheap Chinese bike, but you cant deny yamaha being a reliable name thats had its fair share of innovative designs as well. Theyve done a lot more than Harley has over the years.

Its ironic that you said you liked the old jap bikes because those same bikes started the whole "rice burner" moniker that youre still clinging to 40+ years later.
