As far as suspension goes...gee lets see....ummm...the XR1200X uses Showa big piston forks (just like a GSXR1000) and piggy back Showa rear shocks. You are probably not aware that all Buells (apart from the 1125R & 1125CR) used Sporty bases engines either.

Ok well maybe they did get their shit together since i last saw harley...but still for the price tag how many other cooler things could you get? New Beemer, ducati?

Well that entirely comes down to what an individual considers 'cool'. I love Ducatis, but consider $1800.00 services very uncool, and I'd rather eat catshit with a knitting needle than own a BMW. But that's just me.

Nooo thats nasty

lol but i get the idea.....ok so no beemers for you then.

BTW 1800 for service is bit over the top, but how much is servicing harley going to cost? Since you are saying they are no longer made our of wooden sticks and rusty nails....

Mainly because I've worked in two Beemer dealerships...so know what they're all about.

HD servicing is cheap as. Belt drive (and belts are covered by the 2 year warranty too), and self adjusting tappets. So it's basically just oil(s) and filter changes.

It's your money and your choice what you buy with it! (nothing wrong with Harley's)

You probably had your darkest thoughts when you bought the Beemer anyway!

The only thing that I would suggest is before you buy a cruiser, test ride one, it might not suit your riding style!

I would have a new Thunderbird in a heart beat but cruisers do my back in, damn it!
