Harley's SUCK! This overpriced piece of crap is top heavy underpowered has almost no chrome and looks cheap. Buy a honda if you want to RIDE a bike. Buy a Harley if you want to have bike to repair...often.

Your uninformed remarks might actually mean something if you hadn't posted the exact same bullshit remarks to every Harley Davidson model discussed on this website. Let me tell you something douchebag. I've been riding for 36 years and the 6 Harley's I've owned in that time have spent far less time in the shop than the 20 plus Hondas, Yamahas, and Kawasakis. But then again you probably spend more time at the gay bar entertaining friends in the men's room than you do riding a bike.

I'd rather push a Harley, than ride a Honda.

Funny thing is Sam.I.Am is right in one respect, the OP doesn't have a clue.

Overpriced is true, but that has more to do with demand, as it is with any business, Apples iPhone being one that comes to mind.

Top Heavy? Must be a girl. True the sporty has a higher center of gravity than the other rides, but it was never a problem with mine. The bike was lowered and the peanut tank was replaced with a stretched sport bob tank. It was low enough that I had to replace the stock stand with a shorty (3.5" shorter).

The underpowered issue may have some merit, but that's easily fixed with a good set of pipes and ignition (Screaming Eagle you can get as an option or Dyna).

Chrome is a personal preference so that statement is just bitching about taste.

I have no idea why he thinks they look cheap. Maybe he can explain his reasoning.

The repair crack is a leftover from the AMF days. As one who knows a MC mechanic who works on all makes, he claims Harleys enter his shop no more or less than other bikes. I'm talking 1999 an up here.

I haven't read any other of his other posts, but if the first guy is right about his comments on Harleys, apparently in general, the kid is just fanboy of Honda blowing off steam.

You can write a cogent review on the negatives of Harley rides, without appearing to be myopic. No bike is without its flaws.

His review was just noise.

It's Aeropostale or nothing!

I'd rather ride with people who respect each other's rides.

Corporate loyalty just seems ridiculous to me.
