Yeah, I don’t think ‘cheap’ and Harley really go together…..my lowly Dyna is far from ‘cheap.’ My Nightster was pretty far from ‘cheap’ as well for that matter.

I wish I was told that Dyna's are "CHEAP" before I bought mine. Crap I paid more for mine than I could of paid for a RG, or SG,

The kid's perceptions are likely to persist to adulthood ... regardless of whether formed by his parents ...

It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness ... I'd just take a moment to test his knowledge and educate him ... not by taking him to the woodshed ... unless he's being a little pr!ck ....

Kids' opinions will get around--whether valid or ill-informed--so, that is probably the better approach ... let him know there's no 'cheap' Harley (and not to 'dis Sportsters either) ...

Now ... knock-off ricer wannabes, on the other hand ... LOL.

There are 'initially less expensive' Harleys, but not many cheap ones. His verbiage needs corrected is all.

I offer:
"CVO" = "Cashus Volumus Opus"

Depends on the type of riding you do as to which kind of bike you buy. I don't think a $18K Dyna is cheap! But the again, I think all HD's are over priced!
