RE: Harley being fast?
Just so you know, to the comment about the Hayabusa, it recently was voted best motorcycle of the world, because of its handling, comfort, and power. So the comment about "see you in the papers" is unjustified.

O.K.,.....a serious question,......
How fast would you consider fast enough? How do you compare speed? Top end? Off the line? Why are you looking at cruisers if your concerned about performance?

I am a new member here, and I would like to know how many of you people actually think a harley is fast?
Also, I would like to compare harleys with import cruisers.
Do the import cruisers go as fast as harleys?
Next question is, why do most harley riders make the bikes loud?
Final question, why don't harley riders want to wear helmets?
I am considering a cruiser bike and am not sure which one to buy yet. I want the most power for the money I can get! Thank you for your input!

My original comparison is an M109 or VTX to whatever Harley has to compare it to. ANYTHING Harley has stock that would compare?

RE: Harley being fast?
Did the jap bikes invent those or did they copy those from BMW?
I don't consider shaft drive and liquid cooling to be beneficial. Do sport bikes have shaft drive. Liquid cooling makes the bike look ugly and is another thing that can break.
And btw they make expensive jap cruisers without liquid cooling and with belt drive. Why? Because they want their bikes to look like harleys

Oh and by the way, how did you folks do when they announced last year the Goldwing was the most American Made bike??
I am sure you will dismiss that as bullshit also. Dream on people.
Like I said, fragile egos, to have attacked me so fast. [sm=boohoo.gif]

RE: Harley being fast?
If you want a speed racer, get yourself a VTX!!!! I have a cruiser, but WTF is this "how fast will go" and the amount of torque it has...it's a cruiser!!! I tour on my bike, the speed limit, and enjoy the views as well as the ride!!!
If you want a *down the strip* *show off to your buddies* *rev it and peel out* *little man syndrome* kinda bike~~~> metric is the way to go!!!!!
Our bikes are the ones that have ALOTTA miles on them because we ride...and tour...and attend rallies...where the road is endless!
So you need to decide what kind of bike fits your lifestyle....the kind you keep in the garage year round or the kind you take to Sturgis?
