when you pay for a harley, youre paying for the name

How many Harleys cost 30k? Moron.

The MOST expensive HD is 22,080 brand new... The most expensive Honda is 22,499 - so... what were you saying? Compare the cruisers that HD makes with any other company and the prices aren't THAT far off. HD has a better warranty than the japanese companies, and in my opinion the bikes are just as good if not better.

I'm assuming you're making a joke as your Bonneville looks NOTHING like my Sportster.
Fortunately, it doesn't drive anything like a Sportster, either. The Bonnie eats Sportsters for breakfast......

Hehe - and it's great that you feel that way. I'm just out for a good ride and to have some fun - thats all that matters to me.

I am pretty undecided on whether I really like the way the bonnevilles look, or totally hate it. I have a feeling its just one of those types of looks I guess.

I hear that a lot but that has been the opposite of my personal (although very limited) experience so far.

Ok... go compare Harley Davidsons vs. Hondas ... and tell me the price difference is THAT different. You are the narrow-minded one that probably never even priced a HD.

I guess I shouldn't have assumed that the touring bikes were the most expensive... the Honda Valkyrie Rune is $27,699...

Whoa... he was right! People buy that one for the name! They buy the Honda for a few grand less just because they like it!
