Another popular misconception is that Harley are ultra expensive, they are not otherwise I could have never afforded one..Harley credit makes it easier to get one..They helped me and my credit rating is just so-so..

Ive ridden a Ducati ( Italian) and it was fast..The Triumph (British) was also a sweet bike..The fastest I was ever on was the 1976 Kawa KZ-1..I don't dislike other bikes. my passion is Harleys...

Hey Drac, have you seen the new Triumph Daytona 675? Looks mean in graphite or red, not sure of the yellow colour they have though. Their factories are about 30 ish miles from where I live.

:ultracool Yeah baby. To be honest, I'm like a kid in a sweet shop when I go into bike shops. Just walk round with a big smile on my face, and I don't even ride. Yet.

Don't tease me.
There's a large bike show near me every year, a proper event in a place called the NEC (National Exhibition Centre) in the UK. Imagine several MAAASIVE halls, filled with bikes, bikers, all makes and models.... *Homer Simpson drool - aaaaaghhhhhggggllhghghtttghhhh*....

Not enough money for her tastes?
Nah, the truth is you prolly didn't have enough leather for her tastes...
Seriously, it's all ego after you get past the two wheels part. If they really like to ride, it don't matter. I'm going on a ride I put together this weekend - mostly my fellow Harley riders, but we got a few hondas and maybe even a yamaha along for the trip as well. It's all good.
Whenever my friends start to get too "Pro-Harley" I just make sure to ride to their clubhouse or the Monday night get together on my old Yamaha SR 500 Thumper.

They arent ULTRA but you compare them to say... a honda or a yamaha, and you pay SEVERAL thousand more for the comparable Harley.
If you just want a little sporty, then yeah, thats about the same price as my Vstar, give or take.
My instructors Harley Night Train was close to double what my Vstar cost me.

Mate, these halls are football pitch sized, I kid you not. The place is gargantuan. Check it ----> http://www.motorcycleshow.co.uk/ :asian:
It's best to check out the 2005 event, they're still constructing it for this year.

Lol, sorry dude, I'll let you all know what it was like.
I thought I would revive my thread.
I look forward to the day I can ride it but for now it will sit in the garage where I can wash and wax it everyday. Snowing here in Minnesota!! I still have to take my beginner's rider class along with the refresher class that is offered anyways which is a month away. (promised the g/f that I would take the second class since it can't do any harm and could do nothing but good)
Here is my very 1st bike ( I won't mention how I didn't even know how to turn it on. )
'06 Honda CBR600RR. I got it below KBB and NADA listing from a private dealer.

Very nice, though not the standard 'first bike'. Be careful on her!
I sold my Beemer last year, but kept my '96 CBR1100xx BlackBird. The Bird handled better in the rain, and is a few hundred pounds lighter. No knock on the Beemer though, that was overall the nicest bike I've ever ridden.
Here's the Beemer (and a nice Charvel)
I don't think I have a pic of the Blackbird...I'll have to check on that.
Here's my old CBR900RR, but this pic is about 6 years old now.
