Well I’ll be. I’d say from the displacement these heavy cruisers are still on the market today!

Our 2 motorcycles are enjoyable to ride. That K1600B looks like it would be fun to ride. I could swing 3 but that would get me in trouble and I'm 67 years old.

Save for a few Honda dirt bikes and quads, all I know is Harley, so if they are junk, I wouldn't know it untill I rode a "better bike"

Comon folks drop the emotions.
I am not a very loyal motorcycle customer and have and will switch horses as needed and thought better or necessary.
That is why I also own the Goldwing F6B.
The truth of the matter with no emotion, just my own brand of slanted logic is this-
And you are allowed to disagree, but please not on the emotional scale.
I will not ever trust a fuel injected Harley with computers and gizmos into the bleak of the night.
Never.
I do take the old RK to Sturgis, and long trips, as I can fix the old ***** with spit and bailing wire if needed,
If I have gas I can make the carb work albeit I have not ever had one fail except for a sticky float needle once (EZ fix)
I do run Daytona Twin Tech but I carry a complete old school points breaker plate and coil assy with me.
I just don't relish the idea of being at the mercy of a GD computer in the middle of nowhere.
I want to be in control, not have IT in control

Is paranoia considered an emotion? Just curious....

I must have gotten a cherry. My EFI Harley's have never let me down. My five riding buddies must have gotten cherries too.... Weird. Maybe they run on emotions?

I don't ride with anyone and do long trips.
My emotion and logic says " stay away from the electric operated stuff."
Carry on and do as you wish.

and I put almost 80,000 miles on 12" Premium Shocks the last 4 years! lol...

Almost everything on the bike can be improved if we want to throw money at it!

I think I'll do that every day or two.
They probably need a "where to put gas cap" thread also
