I could never ride a v-twin. I hate them. Noisy, lots of vibration and rattles. I've yet to be on any v-twin bike that even came close to being comfortable.

You just keep buying that cheap chit and replace it every 5-7 years.
Stupidly overpriced? Well, quality usually does cost but in the end when you are still riding the same bike years or decades later that has not ever had a hiccup you realize that the cost is cheap by the mile, month or year.
Its kinda like that expensive Rolex I bought. Got it in the PX back in the mid 1970's and paid the high price of $275 or so for it. Considering that I wore it all last week and its in great shape, when you figure that its now 35 years old, the price was a bargain.
