Nurse! He's out of bed again.
There's no defending the Harleys...they are agricultural....outdated....waaaay over priced....and belong in a time gone by...fact.

my Harley had a proximity arming alarm and immobiliser ,keyless start as standard and self cancelling indicators that worked....
And an engine that Moses thought was old....and throwing an anchor on a piece of rope would stop you quicker....and Rossi and Co have a lean angle of 63 degrees...Harleys are 6.3 degrees at best...admit it....they are complete shit...FACT.
the brakes on the new ones are bloody phenomenal! and the sportster 48 can lean a lot but the others I agree with you
the motor I admit is mostly unchanged for a while...
go on test one try and prove me wrong!
I have ridden most of them...West Coast Harley in Glasgow City Centre have barbecue days and test rides...and me being me take full advantage...many people buy them and love them...so my opinion means fuck all... :rofl: :moto:

the Harley is not for everyone but everyone should ride one before he judges I was completely against them and I ended up eating my words

See if I can go and embarrass a few sports bikes on the local road there....

You'll only manage that if the riders on Sportsbikes are complete shit. So in actual fact they are embarrassing themselves.

its no more pointless than most of yours! :)
who wouldn't want to ride a bike and get £20 of fuel for the trouble!
All of us if it involves a Harley. It's not a fucking motorcycle - it's a fucking joke.
Is it petrol or red diesel?

First one I ever sat on the sportster 48 is quite nimble and stops well have it stage 1 tuned and she will pull your arms off , I loved mine , mainly it was the noise and road presence
As nimble as a London bus...and you must have arm like a girl if 32.5hp pulls your arms off.

Yeh, that's the point. 99% of sports bike riders haven't got a fucking clue and buy their bike for the image as much as any HD rider does. I kept up with a GSXR1000 in my friggin X6 on the same road last weekend. Reckon I could ride round the outside of half of them on a Harley with my chaps 'n' tassels flapping in the breeze....
I'd say you have more chance in your X6 than you would on a Harley...........
Hhahahahahahah....
Love it, they have to give people £20(in fuel) to test ride one....
And what has been said about sports bike owners is bang on. Saw a german on a GSX1400 who must have been 20+ stone, Absolutely menace a gaggle of skinny youths on sports bikes on the mountain at TT, once he finished annoying them he just dropped a gear and f*cked off ...... awesome display.
Never underestimate a stranger on a "slow" bike

Most of them are like a bus but the 48 knows what a corner is, pffffft mine put out 84bhp!

Check out a Victory Gunner or Victory Judge if you fancy an American V Twin. Great reputation, and they built a race bike for the TT to keep Alzo and Gobert off your back....
I'm seriously thinking of one for next year.

Harley XR 1200s have their own race series...still doesn't make them race bikes...if any of these lumps managed to keep up with me on my awesome 160bhp S1000r I would be humbled....but they couldn't...by the time they changed from first to second I would be a distant memory...and for the record I'm completely shit on bikes.

What made you buy the X6 if it wasn't image then? It's pretty useless at everything else ;-)
