In fact, I would say it may even be more un-American given the state of the American auto companies.

I'm gonna guess you're in a legal, medical, or financial field of work? Guess you're just keeping up with the Jones'.

Focktard, I was just trying to highlight how lame the post above mine sounded. Check it out.

Just the way Harley riders (while respecting others decisions) cannot look at a Japanese cruiser as anything other than a wannabee.

FYI
BMW typically outsells Mercedes in Germany. Whose the copy??

No surprise there. BMW is the Lexus of the German market.

Besides the Buell emakes two other sport bikes that are a match for the metrics. They are called MV-Augusta and Cavigia. Both Italian bikes are now Harley Davidson's.
