Agreed. I'm merely drawing the distinction between an "opinion" and a value judgment that is based on little or no supporting information. 'Nuff said.

Should that be true, didn't we all start out knowing very little, and haven't we all tried to be cool, in one way or another, from time to time?

I highly doubt anyone willing to spend the $ on a 120r is a poser. I know I'll probably never hit the drag strip with mine when I get my 117, but I'll sure as **** love stomping on it every time I take off, like a kid with daddy's hellcat on his 16th birthday!!!!!

i don't think you saw my first post but this was what I posted

you'd be surpised what some people will blow their money on to look cool. if people are buying 150 patch sets of Sons Of Anarchy to put on a vest they more than likely also buy a 120R to just go fast

I understand but I work with a lot of posers. Posers don't go fast. They buy a bike and put 300 miles on it a season. It's cool to have in their garage and show their friends, but aside from led lights, they never seem to do anything at all with their bikes, let alone performance upgrades. I do find it entertaining to see their expression when I ride into work on a 35 degree day.

what i should of said is they like to have a bike that goes fast so they can tell the story of the mechanic's who installed it. cause obviously it wasn't of their doing. but they can show it off to all their cool friends

BECAUSE j: I Exercised my freedom too! And you must be stupid to say I know nothing about (ignorant). Next: The dealer, the guys involved when I bought all educated me about pro's and con's on motor and it is reliable and really no different than you if you even buy NEW stuff after 1 year. your warranty runs out too. Oh! And it is put together wrong and it was installed defective uh boy many could sell hi performance stuff and laugh all the way to the bank knowing it was defective before it rolled out of their door. Last: NO warranty maybe not but Harley is coming to the table and my dealer is repairing or replacing at no cost to me ! Duh! So your comments are very uneducated ! And no way in the world you would buy something etc!!! That explains it why you ride weak and cheap stuff. No harm, No foul ! OK

So everyone who buys beefed up Harleys are idiots! Bud, your hitting a lot of people. Plus, I don't have to ride to work on a 35 degree day, I have a nice 2017 mustang GT with 550 hp. to get me there.. Oh! I am retired so I don't have to work!
