Now come on,......... This is a Harley forum,....do you think we are gonna go tell ya to buy a Honda? But then again,... If you were on a Honda forum you probably would here them say get a Honda. So here's my 1cent worth. Buy the Harley ,.....You must want it or ya wouldn't be looking to the guys on here for reassurance. Bottom line it will sure hold its value as compared to that Honda. And the best thing about getting the Harley is that,.........It's a HARLEY!

I have really made up my mind to get the Harley just for the simple fact that when I walk in to the Honda dealer and look around nothing in there "calls to me" I can't really explain it but when I see that street bob it just says to me "I was made just for you lets go for a ride" that is the best way I can describe it.
The only thing that I am a little concerned with is reliability, now before you all flame me, most of my knowledge of Harley is from when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's, which is why I am here, to learn the new problems simply because I really like to ride more than I like to wrench.
someone please tell me they don't leak and break down often anymore.

My wife has allotted me $16000 for a new and bigger bike here are my choices so far
2006 Harley Davidson street bob
dealer is giving me 2000 trade on my bike and not knocking anything off the price $14750
http://www.harley-davidson.com/PR/MO...ection=gallery
or
2005 Honda VTX1800f spec 3
dealer is giving me $3500 trade and is knocking $2600 off msrp for a total purchase price of $8999
http://powersports.honda.com/motorcy...Style=VTX18F15
keep in mind that I also want to add saddlebags, mustang seat, exhaust, intake and tune. that leaves me pushing it money wise on the Harley where as if I bought the Honda it leaves enough left over to put a jacuzzi in the back yard.

The funny thing is I asked the same question on the Honda forum and got mixed reviews some said Harley some said Honda.
