I thought this thread got rather shallow and vicious a bit quickly, without the prerequisite humour!. I am no Harley fan, but acknowledge their place and appeal to many riders. I love sportsbikes, but wouldnt push them on others, if they were not into them. I think the OP summed it up when he said he had his Harley for 2 years but it no longer did what he needed it to-time to move on to the SV-nice. But also a chance for those who probably wouldnt have a clue to dump their ignorant bigoted comments about harleys out there. Interesting-probably says more about the posters than the bikes!

I think you'll find the 'shallow and vicious' bits are the humour

I can poke fun at harleys and take it for being a power ranger! I think some of these comments [say around scummies tassels etc]are funny
but some are just sad stereotyping by people that wouldnt have a clue-imho of course!

This is all very true, my Harley was a good reliable packhorse nothing fantastic or what I would class as good handling, but that is not what the Harley is about, lifestyle , cruising at 100km all day is what a Hog is about.

I just wanted something different and the sport bike suits my purposes now.
