I'm very biased, but bang for your buck, go with the foreign bike. Except the exotics like Ducati or Motoguzzi. Italians and Germans you also pay a premium. Japanese and maybe Korean is where the value is.

A much more informative and helpful post would be to ask which STYLE of motorcycle (ie: touring, cruiser, sport, dual-purpose) would one choose and why. "Harley vs foreign" is a very non-productive debate and one that has been beaten to death long ago here and on every other motorcycle forum on the planet.

Personally I don't care what badge is on the cycle, bang per buck is what I want. If I find a cheap Harley then thats what I'd have, likewise if it was a cheap japanese bike.
The simple fact that HD don't really make many cheap or sport tourer style bikes, is why none of mine have been HD
