My dad had a really nice harley for a while till a biker gang broke in and stole it. What we've realized that is that harley's and hogs are really expensive compared to crotch rockets. So we're now looking at getting a Suzuki Hayabusa maybe. For $12 500 Canadian you can do mid 9 quarter mile stock! Plus get good gas mileage. Harley's are awesome, but rice rockets get bang for buck. I have to admit though, I hate seeing those rice rockets driving around like they want to die.

 

Good argument except for the fact that only an insane person would use it to do 9's on the street. Hell, I dont know if I would have the nerve to go that fast on a bike at the track! What the Harleys can muster is pleanty fast on the street.

 

I thought the same thing before I bought my Bandit 1200, but that thing is perfectly stable at high speeds, the harley starts to get a little funny around 115mph which is wide open on my brothers soft tail my bike is rock solid all the way up to 150mph.

 

I still love mine and don't give a **** what others have to say....

 

i'd have to say i like the sport bikes aka crotch rockets
harleys just don't seem to compare in looks or handling *imo*
maybe i'm just a guy who craves more of a sport-type of everything, or maybe i just hate how i can get pulled over for being too loud and harley owners (or loud bike owners in general) don't
