Omg, I love that.
Simple flowing curves are what is needed and that delivers both.

Except air intake, but I just don't like the look of air intakes. They should always be hidden away.
Unless it's a big *** supercharger.
 
I still don't 'get' Harleys, especially the lower spec models. This has obnoxiously loud pipes coupled with very mediocre performance and handling - unless the main aim is simply to get people to look at you, what's the point?
 
That's what Harley's are all about, the look/noise, even the really expensive ones have bad handling/brakes and the performance is woeful for the size of their engines.

Saying that I still have fun when I get the chance to ride them :) they are different, there's something I really enjoy about having to stamp on the pedals to get them to change down a gear :D

Take one for a free Test ride at a local dealer, you will be surprised

People may think Harleys really under perform but they seriously don't the Dark Custom sportster range is really impressive, they handle really well and pull like a tank not as good as a sports bike granted but that's not what having a Harley is all about.

If i wanted to do 150MPH and Corner at insane speeds i'd go to a track so at least i'm not endangering my self or other road users.

I guess Harleys have a unique feel and the sound is amazing and the comfort is real nice, put that along with the ride and how much you can take in and enjoy, and the amount of heads you turn and compliments you get nothing can beat it. Saying i like to use "Once you seen one Jap bike, You've seen them all"

But i'm not a hater, i love Jap bikes, i love all bikes as long as it's 2 wheels i'm all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake :D
 
I like that. :) Boy done good.

I just don't like the obnoxiousness/arrogance that goes with owning one.... the harley owners i've met would even **** on you if you were on fire because you don't have a Harley lol. ;)

I'm hoping you're not one of those tools now. ;)
 
I'm not a tool, i'm 21 years of age and have ridden motocross all my life, and watched the superbike era of Foggy and Chili i love Jap bikes, but i also love bobbers/choppers,

Also own a 600 Bandit as well for work
