I put my Sportster down without to much help an a few of my mates pranged their HDs.If there is any difference between Sport bikes an cruisers going down it's probably speed,age/attitude related.
Given that,my first HD was a 1980 FLT,THE UGLYEST BIKE EVER MADE.
It handled better off road than any other road bike I've ever ridden,you could drift it into an out of corners with total control.
That was in OZ where I spent a fair bit of time out west on dirt roads.
That bike put payed to the idea that HDs are unreliable for me.
Maybe some of the owners huh!!

Sorry should have said that is 150 MILES per hour. Vibrates like crasy at that speed.

150mph = 241kph wow man

after this I might stop looking at selling my Virago and upsizing. Seems it can out run most road racers .... Oh yea

Saw some guy in leathers doing some frantic dance while we were driving down the highway a couple years back. Turned out it was a harley rider with the bike fallen over and the handlebar pinning his boot. He had pulled over to change cd's in his discman and lost footing in the gravel on the side of the road.
Helped a guy from auckland that lost it on a corner near tokoroa and ended up spread all over the firebreak. He had stuff all protective gear and was very lucky he didnt make contact with the tarseal, but still had alot of scrapes.

Most harley riders are older and havent chosen a bike to push to its limits.(or more that you dont have to push them far to find their limits)

one point with big tourers,cruisers is they seem to be able to maintaiin a good average speed. Never the fastest in the short squirt but better over longer distance.
Mind you when I was young and stupid I made the mistake of trying to keep up with a dude on a goldwing--very very scarey --the guy coould ride and had that thing at obscene angles
