Thumbs up Matt Laidlaw on Harley - top 5 misconceptions

Very interesting video. Posting but it is over 40 minutes. Just a pretty knowledgeable guy about the HD platform and if you want a fair perspective this is it.

He always is the voice of reason but I have to argue with at least one point. It's not a misconception that a Japanese 1000cc bike makes tremendous horsepower and a Harley makes much less horsepower per cc. That is fact. It's also true that a big bore Harley makes tremendous amount of torque.
I think he is missing the point, he should be highlighting the strengths of the product not making comparisons that are meaningless.

Interesting, but he needs to edit it down to 10 minutes.

Or 5. He has an inability to get to the point and repeats his preamble endlessly. I stopped two minutes in.

I made it 16 minutes. Then I realized it was going in circles.

I cant watch these.. He likes to hear himself talk and many of his diatribes are infomercials
