But if he's looking for performance, he wouldn't be considering Harley's, right? You buy a Harley for looks, not performance. So how 'bout a Rocker?

Not necessarily, the XR1200 and the VROD are pretty performance oriented! :mrgreen:

Has anyone else noticed he hasn't been back yet to check in?

Ahhh snookered again. Or maybe he didn't turn on the e-mail notification thingie.

But this is a good topic, I think.

There are actually Harley's that I'd be interested in... If they didn't cost so much money.

XR1200 is a decent example - it is more of a standard motorcycle than a cruiser - at least for the location of the pegs.

I thought the same thing about the V-ROD until I read this thread. I actually do like the way it looks too and I've seen some on the web with windscreens.

But the price - it's sooo prohibitive. Can't even find a used one for a decent price. Although getting a new one - you can get ABS as an option.

Maybe I'll have to sit on one. But what's the point? If I like it, I'll only get to pine about how I can't afford the damned thing.

I'll tell you when I see it at the Motorcycle Show at Jacob Javitz?

I'm not a big fan of cruisers; however, I'd ride a Honda Valkyrie in a second. I was looking at some pictures of a used one at a local dealer and noticed the peg position was more standard than cruiser.

And something would scratch my funny bone about having a six cylinder motorcycle when my cars have been 4 cylinders except for the first two I had...20 years ago.

I am looking to purchase my first Harley however I am still unsure of the best route. I currently have a CBR600 and while fast, I generally find I don't use the speed...especially in D.C. Honestly there is no location to let the power loose and fairfax county cops HATE sport bikes. I am looking for something to cruse on the weekends and take out when traffic isn't nuts.

I was thinking of a sportster model however I am getting the impression I will outgrow that fast. I like the look of the nighster however the street bob catches my eye more. Additionally, the street bob is an affordable bike.

Does anyone own a street bob? How well do you like it?


Suggestions are welcome.
How about a Buell?
