I have pushed a Harley farther than most people have ridden one.
So to answer the question.
HELL NO!
Doug
My last Harley was a lemon. I've ridden Harley for 30 years.Its a different breed altogether.Harley has world class customer service with customer lounges for waiting for service to be completed.When getting issues serviced the Warranty covers 99% of everything.No denial no arguing, they fix it.When using the extended warranty you pay $50 bucks and the rest is covered always. I bought the F6B because its the first Honda that I didn't find butt ugly. It had a dependable proven motor and I wanted dependability. Its was the best choice for the money.Way more for way less.I thought at the time.That being said I've found Honda's dealerships and service sucks. They deny and won't fix squat under warranty.Then I got the 40 mph wobble they said the tire was bad that I need another.I had to pay for it. They tightened the bearings charged me $140 bucks labor to do it. Also not under warranty.I rode away with the same wobble that I still have today.After much research, I purchased all Balls tapered neck bearings to fix the problem. The dealer says if they install them I'll have to pay for the labor plus it will VOID my warranty...Now the tire They made me buy has 2000 miles on it the dealer is saying its bad, that's why I have the wobble. I've found out that the dealer's will never admit that Honda puts out Gold Wings with 40 mph wobble, yet its been happening for years. I wasted my money purchasing the extended warranty, I doubt Its worth the paper its written on. I now dread going to the dealer because I know its going to cost me money and it will be a big augment..Honda needs to address this problem. Lol, if you take it to Champions Honda They keep it four days and when you go expecting it to be ready you find they haven't gotten to it and forgot to notify you..What a joke.............Dickie

Honda is still pissed off about the Hiroshima think 73 years ago.
I never had the engine problems others seem to have. I did have to deal with the MM EFI from the early years to Fuel Injection. They are a nightmare. I just wanted out of the whole V Twin thing.

I would have to say I would be surprised if some Honda dealers did this also.
Typical.
Harley guys making a big flippin deal because 1 dealer for Harley did something positive.
Well supposedly they did it.
Who knows for sure?
It was a Facebook post for crying out loud.
I ride with Harley guys and they complain all the time about the service departments at the Harley clothing stores that have a few Harleys in them for sale.(that is all of what Harley dealers are anymore).

Doug, you are truly a Harley hater, do you hate Victorys and Indians too, or is just a V Twin thing. I have met a lot of good people when I was riding Harleys, also some unsavory ones too. Harley supports many charitys. I don't understand why you have such a bad taste in your mouth about Harley Davidson.
You are correct.
I am a Harley hater.
"do you hate Victorys and Indians too,"
I have no opinion on Victorys or Indians because I never owned either of those brands.
Therefore,I never had to work on,push one for miles or take one in for constant repairs.
"or is it a V Twin thing."
Incase you didn't know,Victorys and Indians are also V Twins.
Harley is not the only V Twin engine.
Moto Guzzi is a V Twin also,just put in sideways.
"I don't understand why you have such a bad taste in your mouth about Harley Davidson."
Because I did nothing but work on,push for miles or run back and forth to the dealer for repairs when I owned (3) of them.
"Harley supports many charitys"
So what?
You make it sound like other manufacturers don't?
Here is my opinion.
Harley Davidson is more about a created image than it is a quality motorcycle builder.
Go into a Harley shop and what is it mostly about?
T shirts,leathers,gifts like mugs,etc. and accessories.
Then their are the posers.
That would take up too much of my time.
In conclusion..
Ride what you want.
Ride with who you want.
That is your choice.
I don't condemn someone for buying one just because I won't.
For the record..
I ride almost every trip I go on with Harley guys.
They give me more crap about my "Jap" bike than I ever have to them about their Harleys.
They also know exactly how I feel about Harleys.
They ride with me because of me.
Not because of what brand I ride.
They are not posers.
They ride 400-600 mile day rides for lunch.
They also put on about 15,000 to 20,000 miles a year on one.
They a religious about maintanance.
I respect them for that.
They all have told me they expect to trade them about every 2-3 years so they don't care about warranties or breakdowns.
By the way,if you think they are so wonderful,then why did you buy a F6B?

I actually mixed sound for him at the Iron Horse a few years back.....
