[quote=cromagnon;6085869]........ Most of these bikes I have test driven over the last several years. Most of them are smooth and efficient but they lack something. Seems like they got no soul or something.....

+1 Had a metric Kawi cruiser before my Street Bob. The plastic fenders, plastic chrome and the lack of sound.... or soul was something that Kawi forgot. I certainly do not want to criticize anyone else's ride, but for me once you go Harley you can never go back.

 

Whenever I need a new appreciation for my ride (and that doesn't happen often), I sit on it, turn it on, warm it up and have a ride. that's all it takes (in my case, anyway).
