I want it

caveman · 08-20-2009, 09:06 AM

So, I stop at the dealer the other day after a nice little benefit ride and I take look at the showroom floor and why do I let myself get hypnotized by that beautiful bike? I mean I see it in my mind with the scarlet red and black two tone and I am in love. Any body got $25k to lone me? Why are HD's so DAMN expensive?

Frustrated as hell

I have spent some time in their dealeships and dunno. Great looking bikes but I cant see paying a 50 percent premium for a name?

Steel frames, engines designed 10 years ago(based off a design from the turn of the century), crappy susupension, and one hell of an image.

I would go jap for a cruiser.

Give me the $25k, I will kick you in the balls and let you work on my bike. I will buy you a H-D patch so you can get the full experience too.

Hey GM

eh not said properly.

I think HD and metric tour bikes are all similarly priced. --- that's better, nicer anyways. LOL

Are leaning toward cruiser rather than sportbike at this point?

Yeah. I feel like I could get myself in too much trouble (and have done so) on a sport bike.

Besides, the vast majority of riding that I'd be doing is more suited to cruisers. Indiana has a few fun roads, but they aren't that close to me. If I had my way, I'd have a track bike and a cruiser (and may have that one day), but I think a cruiser would be a better fit at this point.

I'm really looking at the Victory Vegas, but also like the Harley Night Train and Deuce. I have bids in on eBay right now, just trying to get a deal on a used one for the amount of money I have saved up. I may just wait till spring (or very late winter), but if I get the right deal, I'll go ahead and buy now.
