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?

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

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

You're on my 'people you might know' on Facebook!

Thought I'd seen that bike, just checked and it's either you or someone's nicked a picture of your bike

Small world.

Slightly creepy & weird, whats the name & yours?

Hah it did surprise me a bit because I'd seen the bike in the thumbnail the day before.

You apparently work where I used to work from the friends we've got in common.

'Your' name is Ben according to this, mine's Rob.

Aha, very well could be the case then! is your profile picture of a dog in a hoodie? or a guy wearing sunglasses?
