[lawnguy]

hi all,i have always been a harley guy but i have been considering the f6b as my next ride.i would like to know all your likes and dislikes for both brands.please help with your opinions.

That is a HUGE conversation. You will not get an unbiased opinion here either. Ultimately you are comparing an apple to an orange. Two very different motorcycles.

Go try out an F6B and then tell us what YOU think.

We already know.

F6B:

Mechanically reliable
Doesn't leak oil
Does not overheat
Faster in acceleration
Minimal maintence costs
More value for initial cost

HD:

Not mechanically reliable
Leaks oil
Overheats
Slower in acceleration
Major lifetime maintence costs
Less value for initial cost

That's it in a nutshell. More may add to it. We do have a lot of HD ex-riders and concurrent F6B /HD riders as well on the forum. You'll get some good further comparisons.

To have an HD that runs like an F6B you have to purchase the Screaming Eagle 110 inch model which they don't give away and you still have the overheating problem in hot weather and my buddy has one with 1000 miles on it and came into his garage and there was a puddle of oil under his 110 inch Road glide with like I said 1000 miles on it. If your looking for the big thumping noise then buy an HD which is detuned right from the factory to get it to sound like that. I have always preferred technology over archaic sound enhancements. Meaning you will never see me on an HD ever!
