OK, I have been reading the threads about the Harley racing the Victory, and the Harley racing the R1, and who's faster than who.....

How many of you guys and gals bought your Harley to be the fastest? And how many of you bought your Harley to have the nicest, sharpest, and classiest bike in town?

I will go first: I bought mine to have a nice bike, that looks as nice as I can possible make it look. As dependable as possible so I can start her up and ride for a whole day, without having to worry about breaking down.

 

Have always bought my Harley's over the years to ride the best bike there is...ans to modify them to my likings and personality..Harley fits all those criterias for me

 

same as tom

 

Same here, to be the festest is not always the best

 

I bought mine to have a nice bike to ride and look at without gettin a sore a$$ after a few days of touring.
If I wanted a race bike, I woulda bought a Busa and put a turbo on it.

 

Its not how fast you get there, its about how cool you look getting there. Of course its always nice to have a little hp and tq to crack open when challenged. Thats why HARLEYS RULE, YOU HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. LOOOOOOOOOOKS, AND SPEED if needed.

 

Wow, And all this time I thought is was about liking to ride.

 

uhm, i bought mine to modify it and ride it around town for enjoyment....NOT FOR RACING. I personally think it's dumb to spend so much money and put some much effort into a piece of machine and then go and risk it getting banged up by racing it. I'll never understand people who do that.

 

Did anybody buy their Harley to be the fastest? If they did, they got suckered....

 

I bought a Harley because they're nowhere near the fastest. If I wanted to go fast, Harley wouldn't even be on the list of choices.
