bertusras Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Unofficially Harley holds the the record for extracting the least amount of power from the most cc's. Ja because all of the energy is converted to noise. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
Wannabe Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 You know why tassels on the handlebars is such a favorite HD accessory? So that you can see when it is actually moving forward... Spokey and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
Hairy Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Do you lot not think Harley are trying to move forward with a newer generation of riders when looking at their Sportster and Street Ranges?
Allrounder Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 With Harley sales declining it is a possibility
Gnarly Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Conversely... I actually like them, and it's HD's most successful range, ever. 90% of all Harley's EVER made are still on the roads, the other 10% made it back home. Wannabe, sawystertrance, Spokey and 2 others 5

Edit: Apologies for formatting. Just a copy and paste.. Hi Sawyster...thanks for the thought and the post...this is my first visit to this thread for a month... Went into a deep funk after I was "that close" to making the bank transfer for a low mileage pre-owned Versys 300 and my dear wife brought me back to reality by mentioning that it was a lot of money for a "nice to have" and "what about the next car?" Well, that was the destruction of a life-long dream . But, there is some wisdom to it since we have a lot on the go at the moment, so I will just have to wait for another opportunity, just hope it's in this lifetime!! Hairy, sawystertrance and Grebel 3
mazambaan Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 There are lost of jokes about Harleys (converting petrol to noise etc) but a smooth yuppie dirt biking friend who admitted to having one said he like potato, potato'ing around with his goose on the pillion off for lunch / weekend with mates. The only one I would consider would be an XR750 replica flat tracker.Could be a snorter but not practical. Grebel and Hairy 2

Flat tracker sounds nice though..... RocknRolla and Wannabe 2

I think in order to throw away spend money on a "nice to have " bike, one needs to be sure you won't need it in the future. Mind you, with the price of fuel going the way it is, you may even end up saving money and/or selling it at a profit! Grebel and barrykm 2
RocknRolla Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Let those who ride decide..... But I'm with Grebel on this one. Only Harley I would ever buy is a Buell. I particularly like their approach to using swing arm as sump,etc etc... sawystertrance and Tromp 2

sawystertrance Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Saw one yesterday which looked like it was being ridden like it should be. Melted rubber all the way to the edge of the tyre with no chicken strip. Told the rider I was proud of him. Haha BSG and Grebel 2
