i have the bug up my butt to ride coast to coast...

as a crotch rocket lover and owner and ex-harley owner, ive gotta say that the harley is a hell of a lot more functional than my crotch rocket. my ninja is good for a nice zippy 30 minute ride, thats it. im ready for a knap after that.
my sportster was alot more sporty that my ninja, just slower, and slower to stop. highly flickable, comfortable, very simple and easy to ride. i just dont think they are worth the money. i think my 883 100th anniv with V&H pipes and rejet by dealer cost me with tax, close to or a little more than $12K. thats insanity considering i can now get a brand new ducati 848 for about that
the only harley i would consider off the dealer lot now, is the night train
too bad they dont make the springer softail anymore. back in the 90's they had a beautiful mandarin orange model that was beautiful. i think for the most part, their current lineup is godawful butt ugly...
