How many of you have had the chance to go on a harley davidson?
Answers:
I've owned H-D's before and to be honest I wasn't impressed. Quite frankly they are over-rated and over-priced. They do sound good with a deep throaty exhaust but as far as I'm concerned that's all they have going for them. There are much better motorcycles available for much less money. One thing Harley-Davidson does have is a good marketing department. I take my hat off to them!
everything nice
I've not been on one but I'd love to.
Don't forget it will depend on the type. You can have tank slapping fun on a stripped down racer in the curves, or feel the smooth vibration of a dresser as you float along the highway.
my experience was spoiled by the fact that the guy who took me out was soooo overweight i was clinging on 4 dear life!!
i had hardly any room on the seat and when he accelerated i nearly fell off!
apart from that it was loud, the vibration was numbing and you can't beat the freedom of a bike, whichever it may be.
I went on a harley once.I didn't mean to,but there were no toilets nearby.
Rubbish. Slow, poor handling, rough, badly made.
The Springer was like riding a Mixmaster.
They are great for posing round town/stoplights etc. If you want to get noticed it works well. I've ridden a bunch of different types, chopped, big bore, etc. Not so good when you get on it though, Ok in a straight line at ~55 : ) but really much too heavy and underpowered, 100hp 102ft/lbs torque from 107Cu. ins, (almost 1800cc, 61bhp stock, 1450cc), Suzuki Hyabusa 176bhp from 1300cc, 97ft/lbs torque.
Real good marketing from HD convincing public they 'NEED' one. Fun for a while, but way over priced and over hyped
i have 2004 roadking. its a nice bike but i have to admit i ride my goldwing more.
Everyday..
It is the most awful handling modern motorcycle I ever drove. I'm used to British bikes and BMWs, and in the first turn I thought maybe someone had welded the handle bars to go only in a straight line.
Frightening overpriced bucket of bolts in my opinion. 60% sales hype, 30% styling, 10% real motorcycle.
I have had the unfortunate experience of riding a sportster, they have rubber engine mounts which really rattle the hell out of you. If you want a decent muscle bike go Yamaha V-Max everytime
dont bother bucket of dung
go on a YAM R1 MORE FUN
It's all a matter of taste. I've been on everything: dirt, sport, dual-sport, super-moto, quad, race, cruiser. I rode a Harley once, and it just isn't my thing - the motor has a nice feel to it, but they handle weird b/c they are low to the ground and don't have a lot of clearance. Also, anything with forward pegs feels unnatural. Give me a Ducati, I'm happy.
Owned three in the past. I was young and the chicks dug it. now I'm older, I ride a goldwing. The diiference between bike styles is like the difference between cigarrette brands. It's all a matter of taste, and mine is GOOD! lol
i own a 2006 883 Custom. i think it is a very nice bike.
