    Plus, they use (some) outdated technology to stay true to tradition. Why do you think some people still bow hunt? Because despite its simplicity, it fuckin works, plain and simple, and it’s enjoyable. People like it, so why change it if it works? What’s funny is they’ve managed to keep up with current technology without converting to it, answering their customers’ demands for traditional sound and style while increasing reliability and performance.What the fuck is wrong with that? Douchebag.

    A lot of people making shitty comments tells me you do not ride or you’re a fucking poser!
    The only thing that should matter in that you’re on two wheel and the rubber side is down… Only a fag cares about what’s between another dudes legs!
    Remember: midnight bugs taste best!

    bwahaha, more like $30,000, Harley’s are sooo fu-cking overpriced, no wonder, its run by jews. They are ripping the shit out of you dumb fatass old farts. Why don’t you old fatasses use that money to hire a trainer, get in shape so you can ride a nice sportbike. You dumbfucks!!!

    tobin55, overpriced? You get what you pay for! How much resale value does a 20 year old rice grinder have? They are cool if all you want to do is go fast for a short time. Harleys are built like trucks, strong and rebuildable like a big rig, not like a bic lighter that you throw away….

    A modern 600cc sportbike will easily run for over 100,000 miles if it’s taken care of. And by taken care of, I mean maintained. Those engines will rev to 15 grand all day long without trouble. The engines are also just as rebuildable as a Harley engine.

    Obviously the markets for an R6 and a Harley are totally different, but you can’t argue with the fact that the performance you get in a sportbike is a great value.

    BTW I was just giving my perspective, I like Harleys too.

    Stand next to my R6 without its can on, revving at 16,000 rpm and tell me again it sounds like an insect…

    I far from a fatass old fart and I ride a Harley. I just happen to like steel and not plastic. To each his own.

    captain150 I do not pay much attention to smaller sportbikes like a 600, I have never seen one with many miles on it. Usually most people I know get rid of them after a short time. If they keep them long they lose all their resale value. Personally I dont care for bikes that sound like a chain saw or that need to turn 15 grand to get to the power band. I am not in my 20s anymore….

    im a harley technician and all you motorcyclist that dont know a thing about motorcycles should just break their fingers so i dont have to read such garbage on you tube. even though i only work on HD’s i coinsider all bikes a work of skilled engineering and fine art. dont ever disrespect any bike cause i can fine tune any bike that’ll make you wish that you hadn’t spent thousands on performance parts. shoot i can tune a 883 to run 11.6 on a quarter

    no not really just tools. reshape the slide in carb. reface the valve seat. set a leaner tune up opperations. change the trail. reduce spring tention on carb. and many other tricks that doesn’t take nuch

    damn makes me want a 883 sporty you can find them all day long for around 45K but if you do a brand new one with fuel injection will it be that hard to get it in the 11′s

    fallenwarriorX1X, dont pay any attention to the harley haters I have had harleys for over 30 years, and I have never had any complaints, and I ride all the time. The world has two types of people, those that ride harleys, and those that wish they did! Harleys are the bike that every jap motorcycle tries to copy…..

    Engineering marvel of the modern era. Only two types of riders, those that ride HD and those that wish? Superbike champion, Ducati, Supersport: Honda. AMA Super: Honda. 500 Moto GP Yamaha. World Chrome Championship: Harley. Annoy the world loud pipe champion. Harley.

    “Harleys are the bike that every jap motorcycle tries to copy….. ” What, like GSXR1000, Fireblades, R1′s?

    Can someone answer me this: What is the appeal of a bike that cannot corner?

    I know not everyone wants to tool round like a looney all the time (I did LOL) but would n’t it be nice to at least have the option?

    BTW how do these thing brake compared with a Jap bike?
