If it has 2 wheels its worth a ride. In my 40+ years on the street most have been on Harleys. In my opinion Harley thinks they are the only one building bikes. If they gave me a descent trade in price I probably would have never looked any further.
Now that I did buy the F6B I will probably never look back. I sold my Ultra and thinking of selling my Fatboy. The F6B to me is in a class of its own and Harley just doesnt realize that they are missing the mark.
The wise investor puts their hard earned money into a product they can spend a lot of time riding comfortably. I can not ride a Harley any where comfortably.
Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

I tend to agree with some of the above posts also..Harley does a great job of painting and chrome, but the engines leave a lot to be desired in my opinion...The all look alike and sound alike and I have never been one to join the "good ole boys club" and ride to the local dealer park my bike and spend all afternoon talking about how "great HD's" are...Too each his own, as they say, and I choose to ride a Honda F6B and "blow-away" HD's when the opportunity arises...Even at my ripe old age (74) it is still kinda fun to hit the gas!!!!
I blew two away yesterday. Just couldn't help it ! My wife said, "You know I hate that when you do that". MY BAD !!!Originally Posted by opas ride
Been riding for 40yrs, Harley has the best paint job on the market, But thats all they have NOW..
I love their looks but have always been afraid to buy one because of the mechanical issues I hear that they have and the roasting heat I hear that they generate.
I like 'em all.
I buy which ever bike fits my needs at the time.
Maybe some day that will be a HD. Maybe not.
Love the fact that they are an American based company.
Disappointed that the products they make don't have what I need in a motorcycle.
Ditto for the two Polaris bike brands.

HD makes a fine motorcycle. The motor company just could never check all the boxes that I wanted in a motorcycle. I could never frown that much and put on all the funny motor clothes. I like the Dudes with imported cars and trucks with Harley Davidson front tags. Now HD has the 500/750 water cooled Dot Head Model. Oh for the North American market the Indian (country) parts are assembled in The USA.

If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.
I have had many. Rode them when they weren't popular. Had some bad experiences with shovelheads and still loved the lope.
I guess it's been a love/ hate relationship. I have learned to never say never. Right now, I love my F6B and that's a good thing !!
