Ron, ya gotta admit Joe's reply to ya here was pretty much spot-on!
I mean, while I TOO wouldn't be adverse to owning a Harley(though make MINE one of those really cool XR1200 models they stopped makin' because the Harley crowd doesn't know anything BUT the whole Cruiser thing) you HAVE to admit one of the MAIN reasons many people purchase 'em is because of that whole "Image" nonsense they press so heavily to the public.
That was a funny observation but the Harley guys I know really don't care about the sport bike and sport tour folks. They know those folks don't get it.
I am actually surprised with how many owners of our bikes are sport tour guys too. The Tiger, Sprint, BMW, etc. are simply something I would never ride. I walk right by them not even noticing they are in the parking lot.
I like cruisers and go fast bikes. Unfortunately my old fat ass cant ride the real fast belly on tank ones anymore.
Now I could go for a HD Road King with a Ultima 130 in it.
Thats 130HP and 135lbs. of torque. Direct swap at 4 grand. Then you sell the OEM motor for 2k.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
