Which is your favorite ride and why?
What are some of the things that the company could improve on?
What is the difference in the ride between say a fatboy and a fatbob?
Has anyone bought a 110th Anniversary Harley and if so which one? What is it you love about it? What is it you hate?
Anything else you can add?
Okay, I'll play along here.
1) I have 5 harleys. Each of them different and I like each best for the purpose for which I bought it. The Ultra is for log rides when my wife rides with me, the RG is for long rides when solo, the WG is for crusing, the FB is my wifes and the 1200C is my grand daughters

2) They could get better with pricing and quality

3) Cannot answer as I have not ridden the fat bob

4) No so cant answer

Now for more specific answers I suggest you do a search. There is tons of info here.

This almost falls under the heading," If I have to explain you wouldn't understand".
If your not in love with a Harley to begin with it may not be for you. Personally, Harley is the only bike I would consider owning. Second, would you be wanting a slick down cruiser like my Wide Glide or do you want to take stuff with you like a bagger?

My favorite ride is any that starts with leaving the driveway.
Harley is a good company with a lot to be said about their bikes. I'm not a huge fan of their price point, but you do get what you pay for.
As for your other questions, troll the forums for a while and all will be answered.

Welcome!
