Default Ever Owned a Metric?


Who of you owned a Metric Bike before a Harley?
I started out with Yamaha's, then on to Honda's.
Nothing bad to say about any of them, loved them all.
However my favorite out of all the bikes I ever owned, FXDB.

I have owned a Honda, then a Kawasaki 400 triple, then a Yamaha Maxim, then a Kawasaki GPZ 550, then a Harley FLH, then a Kawasaki KZ900 I restored, then a Sportster, and now my Fat Bob....by far the best of the lot.

Yep, a Honda V-30.............. Never bought much for it except routine maintenance stuff. It was a great bike, but it wasn't a Harley.
Nuff said

Black "06 Honda VTX 1300C with Cobra pipes.

Great bike. Comfortable ride. Never a mechanical problem. Mediocre paint. Bad seat.Too much plasti-chrome.

Didn't sound, look or satisfy like my Harley.

Yup, four Yamahas and one Suzuki. My favorite is my Harley Low Rider hands down!
