    Suzuki Boulevard C50
    Honda Shadow Spirit 750

    On my way to the door I saw that prick and said "Happy April Fools" . I felt kind of a prick but he deserved it.
    I have to say that is fucking awesome. Well played.

    Harley is all about torque and comfort (of course the sportsters are not as comfy as the touring class). That being said, a tricked sportster 1200 can light up the drag strip. Reliability, as Will mentioned, is a totally new ball game from years past. The warranty, especially the VIP, is unreal on a Harley these days. In two years I have not spent a dime on anything for my Wide Glide except gas and chrome... it covers everything, oil changes on up. I am not sure of the warranty on the rice burners but you can't beat the warranty on a Harley with a stick. Once you take a cruise on a HOG you will be hooked. Now the decision has to be this Nelson... Do you want to race from redlight to redlight? If so get a rice burner. If you want to cruise in comfort and have some serious torque and get from point A to point B in style, get a HOG. (The Honda Goldwing is an exception IMHO) I personally would never purchase anything other than a Harley. At the very least go ahead and get your motorcycle endorsement and test ride different manufacturers before you take the plunge. I would even advise you to rent different ones for the day. That is really the only way you can know you made the right choice for you and that is what matters.

    I'm going to have to disagree with you Edge. Harley's are great for cruising long distances if you like your balls to be rattled numb. Most of the Japanese bikes are way smoother from my experience. They have similar styling, and the Honda shadow 750 has the same amount of torque as the Harley, but with an extra 20 HP. Not to mention they are far less expensive. Don't get me wrong, Harleys are alright. I am still have a 1200 Nightster in the running for my next bike, but the Japanese bikes are a much better value.
