If not a Harley it would be a Victory or Buell!&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I buy American.
Ever bought aftermarket bolt-on parts for your Harley?

Then you've bought "other than American".

Get use to the fact that "Made in USA" doesn't necessarily mean in the "United States of America".

V-Rod and work my way around to putting a turbo on it.

If not HD then a Ducatti.

&nbsp\\;I&nbsp\\;was looking&nbsp\\;for a Honda Valkyrie, before I bought&nbsp\\;the Ultra Classic.&nbsp\\;
Never found the right deal. &nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;If the issue was money, a Honda VTX or Kawasaki Vulcan.

I would switch to my '57 FLH or '98 VTR1000F Super Hawk!
&nbsp\\;
If new, probably the Triumph Rocket III Touring.

Not to start another war but it took 38 posts for someone to say that....As far as the rest goes, No I don't expect that every last penny that I spend is going to be made in America, but I'll be damned if the big pennies are going anywhere else!

My bike other than an HD bagger would be another American bike.
