As I mentioned on another forum, if you do NOT ride, there are only 2 kinds of motorcycles: Harleys and Ninjas.

but which is more badass, a Ninja or a Pirate?!?



(don't forget to take into account the ratio of global warming to Pirates)

[quote="Fathertork"]The old saying “things are different on a Harley” is true, however I won’t try to explain that here.


I am really not trying to be a smart "O Ring" here, I have never ridden a Harley. I have heard people say this before, and I would like someone to try to explain it to me. I am shopping for my next bike right now and have seen a couple of Harley's that I liked, but of course they are more expensive. I am having a blast right now riding a Honda, but am a relatively new rider. How will things be different if I spend the extra money and invest in a Harley as opposed to say a Honda VTX or Yamaha? All input is welcome.

Me I would go with Pirate as more badass but a Ninja would win in a fight.

I would continue riding your Honda, your having a blast. What else matters.

I have road HD for years because I could not justify the depreciation of the others. As stated in an earlier post, when you can ride a Harley for 8 years and sell it for more than you paid for it....that's not a bad reason right there.

Like everything, that has changed now. I still think they hold thier value relative to all other brands though. Other reasons-Personal and you have to pay the big buck to find out

Go to a dealer, they can show you a few features and offer you a test ride. You aren't just paying for a brand... you're paying for their pension plan.

No I'm kidding. They are definately a different creature entirely. It's like comparing the suzuki Vstrom to a ducati multistrada. Two adventure tourers from two entirely different companies with very different approaches.

how does it feel to be legendary 750 alongside moto?

umm no different other than its (not sure what gender moto is but based on his posts I would guess male) got over 800 posts already.

I certainly don't care what anybody else rides or think any more or less of them for what they ride. Long as they love & respect their bike and it suits the knid of riding they do, make or model doesn't matter. Besides, it would be pretty boring if everyone rode the same thing.

They are great people .... but they do have this singular focus on All Things Harley.

its true. Ide say i fall into that group when im with them. But im still in my obsessed with speed stage so I cant focus on just Harleys. Even my bike isnt that fast.
