But Harley's have been overpriced.
Specially when you could buy a rice burner that looked the same, ran better, for less.
 
Just didn't have the name.

@FoFa:
 
Harley has the market cornered on paying more for less bike.
 
I never have been able to wrap my head around not wanting a bike that was water cooled with the TX heat. 4951

My Moto Guzzi was air cooled, never had an issue with it in the heat. But then, it's V twin was sideways and the cylinders stuck out in the air flow.
 
It still was hot at stop lights however.

@FoFa:
 
Does having a rotated mounting axis change the balance of the bike at all? Slightly heavier in turns perhaps?
 
I'm curious as I've never driven a bike with such an engine style. 4951

@TXtransplant:
 
Cornered like a dream, ok, not a sports bike, but better than a cruiser.
Tiny bit of torque pull, but not noticable while moving.
Had a decently low center of gravity.

@Ray: Very nice cruiser but I don't care for that color.  I'd want something a little brighter and flashier.
