I work at a bike shop in Nlr AR and worked on pretty much everything on I've done a few HD including big dog choppers and other HD powered bikes some Triumphs ducatis Hondas Kawasaki Suzuki BMW and guzzi from full blown motocross bikes to dual sport and adventure bikes to cruisers to crotch rockets they all have there pros and cons
Like the harleys having 3 drain plugs some say that's unnecessary I says it's a fail safe say a bearing in the trans goes out and some metal is floating around in the trans the primary chain and motor will be safe from failure that's the way a mechanic looks at it. As far as the best bikes to work on BMW is probly the best bike to work on followed by triumph the worst bikes to have to work on (in my opinion) and Suzukis and Hondas mainly VTXs. I used to be a Harley hater there still not my favorite but they kinda grow on u I rode a road kind about 400 miles one weekend and kinda wanted one. My prospect in my club just got a sportster and in the first month we had to fix a wiring short that left him stranded replace the fuel inlet elbow, the stator, the regulator and tighten countless bolts before he even got his tags but it's just the luck of the draw when it come down to it
