Default If harley didn't exist........

I love harleys (own a superglide that&nbsp\\;i PUT 10k miles a yr on)&nbsp\\;but sometimes wonder what I'd ride if harley didn't exist ?
&nbsp\\;
wondering if anyone thinks the same way and what they'd want and why (don't take the easy way out with chooper has to be factory production bike)

I'd be on a Ducati, although I also have a fondness for Triumphs, (had two) maybe even a Guzzi.
