i was referring to how long it took harley to come full circle and start changing their bikes. they ran the same design forever, i do like the harley v rod and other stuff but i get so sick of hearing about how "bad ass" harleys are gimmie a break
yeah im just regurgitating what i have heard from others, what the fuck ever, i know plenty about bikes, i am just not interested in cruiser bikes. they are too loud, slow, and inefficient.
bikes are supposed to be light and harleys are heavy as shit. if you dont know someone dont assume they are ignorant, fuck tard (not insulting you, i just wanted to say fuck tard
) im far from ignorant. someone asked buell or cbr, to which i answered CBR ecause buell bikes dont have the R&D or experience that honda does in making sports bikes. maybe i was a lil hard on the harleys but perhaps it was just subconcious venting from the hour and a half i spent stuck behind about 200 or so of them this past sunday that were on a bike rally on 75 headded south doin like 50 on a road that has a 70 mph speed limit
turned a 2 hr road trip in to a 3 1/2 hr journey
harley tryin to make sport bikes is like ducatti tryin to make a cruiser
pointless
LOL, Ok so now your going to say that Buell Doesnt have Updated tech, they dont have a good R&D Program?? Once again, I would love to meet who you are getting your information from??? Take the new Firebolt and Lightning for example, they carry the oil tank in teh swingarm, and the gas in hte frame, all to centralize more weight, and keep the fuel from sloshing around in turns, name me one other streetbike manufacture that does that, wait I dont know of any, must be that out dated tech that buell is using
. Also they braking system is one of the strongest, and lightest on any sportbike produced at this time and they have the shortest wheelbase..
Erik Buell has also been into racing since the 70's, he built his own bike because the others on the market wernt good enough, well that inturn led to him creating his own Sportbike company in 1993 only to be bought out by the worlds largest Motorcycle manufactor 3 years later, given they are a fairly new company, but I would not go as far as calling then outdated, or undertechnoligzied ( is that even a word
).
As for Harley comming full circle, why change something that works great and is your number one seller, I mean that would be like for going, weve made the F150 for 25 years, and every year its been the top selling pick up, but you know what were jsut going to stop making it cause its had all these little problems, no where would that make since??

As for that, I never said you did not know anything about "bikes" I just said you know shit about Harley in general, but here you are cutting them down, proubly never have ridden one, never owned one, but yet you say they are slow, loud, heavy, POS's, again you are letting you ignorance about the subject show, have you ever heard a stock Harley run, with the exhaust Harley put on it??? Its quiter than my friends TLR with stock exhaust.
bikes are supposed to be light and harleys are heavy as shit. if you dont know someone dont assume they are ignorant
Yeah racing bikes are suppost to be light, what does weight matter when your just out to enjoy the ride???
Anyways as for you getting stuck behind a buch of harley's, get used to, your going to be seeing it alot more as Harley was the top selling motorcycle maker for awhile, I mean shit most of the guy out there have been riding longer than you have the least you can do is show some respect and let them enjoy there ride instead of trying to rush them.
Anyhow, Im tired, im out.
