This will most likely be removed or moved. Bias is considered.https://autos.yahoo.com/news/compare...182647272.html

I don't get the point your making???

The writer favored the indian road master...so what? They are nice machines indeed. Everyone is entitled to opinion,even writers. Harley has some awesome competition from another American company. I think it's great. One bike being favored more makes the other want to improve

Ok? All you gotta do is explain your intent by posting this. I enjoyed the article just don't know what point you were trying to make with bias?

He isn't making any dang point, he's just posting the article because it was interesting to him and he thought it might interest other people here.

Instead of making this a circle jerk and a hate for all other brands (not implying that's what you did here, but you know how people are), let's discuss the article shall we?

I just bought my 15 Ultra, I tried Victory and Indian also. I don't think you can make a bad bagger choice now. I would never tell someone which one to buy, I would recommend they ride them all, pick the one right for you. And all the big name baggers can be easily test ridden.
