Moe: Well, I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I...I can't compete with that stuff.- The Simpsons
some of them even don't think Sportsters are "proper" Harleys
Of course they are "proper"...every bit the real deal - boring, old technology, slow slugs...with riders adorned with badges, tassels bells and bandanas..
Or you could track down one of the 400cc mid-90's Ducati Supersports and LAMS on that. But I'm not biased, no-ooo...
As other posters have mentioned, the best thing to do here is actually ride as many different bikes as you can before you make a decision. I've been keen on quite a few bikes which looked great on paper but just didn't work for me once I'd ridden them. If the harley is the one for you, go for it. But make that purchase based on experience.
...you want the Harley?...buy the Harley...they are as good as any other thing wiv wheels, if thats what you like...KB is opinionated shite, espoused by lots wiv no experience but plenty of waffle, and those who know every fucking thing...
Saw a vulcan on the motorway the other day, looks nice, as far as cruisers go.
However ill admit I do like sports bikes.
Theres a huge range of lams bikes, all of which yiu will shift as soon as you get your full because they are all underpowered, as is the nature of the lams system. Some can be derestricted, which is a bonus if you are dead set on throwing huge sums of folding stuff at a bike.
Personally, i'd buy an older bike, let someone else take the new bike devaluation hit, then throw the big wads of cash at a "real" bike when the appropriate license is held.
Hell, my 88 cbr250 has put some of the new lams bikes to shame. Yeah its old, lots of kms and a little tempramental, but imho thats what gives it its character
226kg LAMS bike!
That's a porky mother.
Its how they get away with a bit more power,150kW per tonne is the restriction, so make the bike heavier you can shove some more power into it
