I really don't see what the fuss is about, Harley's are bikes geared toward crusing. Jap bikes are made for speed, how can anyone even compare the two?? that's just being stupid!! I mean If I posted I wanted to get a Hummer, and people writing back, NO mate, get yourself a Honda S2000 or an Evo...
I like both types, Japs and Harleys. Don't see where Peeps getting the unreliable part??Maybe the old ones, yeah like the 49' Pan heads..LOL My uncle has 2 as far as I know the only times he takes it into the shop is to get maintenance work.
Fact is, a Jap bike 10 yrs down the road will be worth a fish and chips dinner, a Harley holds it's value.

Oh, GurnE..885 are the girl harleys..

I'm actually more into custom Harleys though.
