bertusras Posted October 15, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted October 15, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 15, 2018 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Posted October 15, 2018 Share 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. bertusras, Spokey, Kranswurm and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

mazambaan Posted October 15, 2018 Share 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. Hairy and Grebel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat tracker sounds nice though..... Wannabe and RocknRolla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted October 16, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawystertrance Posted October 16, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
