I don't think they should have made it a trim options every year. If they would have only released it every couple years, I think it would have been a better market deal.

You guys are bashing on Harley's? Wow, pretty ignorant. Great brand and all the Japanese have copied them. Obviously they are not for everyone, but if you want to get in the saddle for a long period of time, they drive quite nice and the V-twin puts out quite a bit of torque.

As far as the truck goes, everything like that comes to an end.

That statement was ignorant lol...

Let's just agree to disagree.

I've ridden everything from a ruckus to a 2013 s1000rr bmw. No matter what you say, HD bikes aren't quality. Period. They are over chromed pigs that you pay for nothing but the name on. 24k at the BMW motorcycle dealership and you get a bike that blows you away. This bike is just lame for 24k... he was excited it had cruise control on it...LOL for 24k it should.

I would agree that they are overpriced, but that is a function of what folks will pay and demand (value perception). Obviously for a lot of folks it's a status thing and there are cheeseballs on all makes and models.

I have two Harley's and you'd never know it unless you look in my garage, no stickers on my truck, no tattoos and not one single Harley shirt or belt buckle. I have over 25k miles on my bikes and other than one instance of getting gas with water in it, never a problem out of either - not even a bulb replacement. I appreciate the simple design, the sound and the comfort.

If they aren't your thing, fine. I think sport bike douchebags that ride in tank tops and flip flops are just as lame as faux 'bikers'.

I've hand many, many bikes. Currently a 2012 Ducati Multistrada and a BMW K1200. Never a HD as they aren't my style. But I don't understand the HD bashing, it's kind of childish. If you'd like a list of all the problems I've had with "quality" BMWs over the years I'd be happy to provide.

I'm not a big Harley fan, I don't hate them at all. Im just a sport bike kinda guy. That's all. Everyone has a reason why they like what they like.


I'm not a big Harley F150 fan, but I absolutely love the Harley Powerstrokes! Those are some sweet trucks

How do you like your Multistrada? I am really close on pulling the trigger on one of those. Seems like it is one hell of a bike. I had a 1089 and loved the power delivery on that engine.

I have owned too many bikes to list, raced superbikes in WERA, rode my GS 1150 BMW to Baja, and my Harley to Sturgis (which were some of my best memories on a bike) They have earned their place, and like you, think it is very childish to bash them.

You have any current quality data on HD bikes?
