yes there are. but its not cool to bash anything OTHER than HD. according to the gstwin gods. to be frank, i had more problems out of my gs versus my sportster. ( before and after the supercharger add-on) my sportie looked like this:

(http://images.traderonline.com/img/5/dealer/7695082/104090457_1thumb_550x410.jpg)the super went /was driven by hte cam gearing underthis cover. wasnt difficult at all. also with it under warranty. this being a BIG NO NO, could be removed in 45 minutes and restored to stock. my gs gave me more problems than hte sportie did. only problem sportie had was a malfuncioning bank angle switch. its a wonder what a paperclip can do to solve that

Dude grow up, you're so 90's ...

Of late there are Idiots riding stretched and slammed sport bikes more than Harley's.

Even later than that there are Idiots who take a perfectly good bike ... remove 80% of the useful and failure proof parts it has, paint it black put ape hangers on it and call it a chopper/bobber and try to sell it for 3 X its street value ...

Yes its one of those questions like "how many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb" type questions ... Its like 1 feminist screws in the light bulb, then one to say the bulb has violated the socket, and 10 to wish she was the bulb and 20 to wish she was the socket and 30 to think about what sorta vibrator can be run out of that socket ... and when you're done with all that ... no one knew the bulb was changed in the first place ...

Yea far fetched ... but in this metaphor, the feminist screwing in the light bulb is the harley ... and the rest are the other Idiots ... there is so much noise that no one can see the bright new light bulb ...

Cool.

...my gs gave me more problems than the sportie did. only problem sportie had was a malfunctioning bank angle switch.

Based on my current stable I feel qualified to say. . .
The Harley: Very few problems.
The GS500: Absolutely no problems.
The DL1000: An ongoing challenge of all my mechanical skills, my bank account, and courage.
(courage that if I ride 150 miles out, I can make it 150 miles back without calling for a trailer).

The point; my GS is so reliable it's almost boring.
BTW: Nice sportie, Yama.

(http://images.traderonline.com/img/5/dealer/7695082/104090457_1thumb_550x410.jpg)

The EDIT: True, people with poor riding skills ride all brands of motorcycles, but I must admit, it is most enjoyable to see Harley riders dump their bike more so than any other brand of biker.

Fuk-in-ay mate, seems like you have been abused by a Harley dealer as a child.  >:(
Lots of Harleys in my family, Road King, Fat Boy, Soprtie, etc...

But I myself do prefer a Jap bike for too many reasons to list here.
One negative issue for me is that Harleys need a paved road at all times and I always seem to end up in the gravel/dirt at some point in my travels.
My XL1200C has forward controls and a rather excessive rake which looks cool but renders the bike useless in the soft stuff.

So yeah, with a DL1000 a GS500 (and a GSX1250 in my immediate future), my Harley just sits while the Suzuki's run & run & run.
Just sayin'

But would never buy a Harley, Over priced and the dealers are shaZam!.  they are as bad a used car sales men.

wish indian was still made. i know they went out of business a while back. then came back under new ownership. one thing about HD i did love was that i could have changed my 883c to a 1340 just by changing cylinders and pistons. ( and heads too if i wanted to do it right. but it would run on the 883 heads)
Title: Re: Harleys ar sooo cool

yeah, they came back.  Not sure who but all i have herd is that they took the Indian name and slapped it on some POS and charged out the ass.  No wait, that sounds like HD.  LOL.  But really, the "new" indians are shaZam!

using hd engines or hd style engines. what i do like about them, is if i have to replace the upper end, or the transmission, dont have to remove the engine. it can be done on the bike. the trans has to come out, and the derby cover etc.  but the only time one has to split the cases is to overhaul the lower end

The better GS500, is a bmw, the F800.
The better gs500 in a cruiser form is a triumph - the boneville.
The better gs500 complete with crappy welds in the frame and tacky plastic is a kawi the ninja 650.

The Beemer I want is a r1200c.

Cool.

I'm easy. I'd settle for an R1000 ;)

(so, you like the f800 more than an FZ6 ?)

Title: Re: Harleys ar sooo cool
Post by: mister on September 05, 2012, 03:57:23 PM
I'd take an F800r over the FZ6 anyday, as far as bike goes - BUT - not for the money. Bring money into it and I'd chose the FZ6 instead - if I had to chose between those two bikes only.

I understand that Labor is a massive added cost to anything. So that an item produced in China has Much less labor cost than the same bike made in Australia. That being the case, and seeing as BMW is using other countries like India to make stuff and keep costs down, why do they charge so much?

Answer: Cause they can.

Funny that I feel very secure on my BMW even when I crashed it I stayed upright. Same cant be said for Harley's. I wonder if they discovered abs yet?
theyve got abs ;) ive serviced them and bimmers before. both same behavior. ive had a wreck on my sportie. and no dmage whatsoever. which tbh was weird

Abs would have been on some bikes in the late 20th century

yeah ..bimmers in '88 ...  honda did one in '92 ... etc etc

but harleys were still created in the 20th century .. 1903-ish ... so joining the 20th century? ..

bimmers only went to abs as standard on all products this year ..

funny enough that reminds me... when i was at high school .. a teacher had a r100 .. i think it was ... he would often limp a little .. that big hot boxer would give him blisters on his shin and ankle ... thru his suit pants .. he was always too tight to buy good riding boots .. but we always reckoned he would let the bike set his legs on fire before he would give it up!

V twin belt drive ain't got nothing on parallel twin chain drive!

Me and my Ducati would have to strongly disagree with you there.

its a vtwin, pipes are 1 into 2, for each cylinder. but way its laid out makes it look like 4 pipes

Post by: Janx101 on September 10, 2012, 08:23:27 PM
yeah got the v-twin and 1 into 2 bit.. its the overall look though...

i mean i was impressed with the new Brutale 675 3 stack pipe out the side .. but 4 pipes must be better!!  :icon_twisted: (tim the toolman grunts) ugh Ugh UGH!!
