Default Thought this was interesting

I happened to run across the Japan Harley-Davidson website and thought it was interesting how much more fancy the bikes are on their site. I would love to have the "Queen of the Black Horse" I also like the "Little but Present"

That is interesting, a 1200 Custom is 1,314,000 YEN, at today's exchange that's $ 13,412.88 US dollars.

Some of those bikes are really freakin nice. IT almost seems like the bikes that get sent out to the world are better lookin than the ones here. I mean Europe and AUS get the XR 1200 but we dont.
