740 lbs of underpowered uncomfortable art. Harley riders do their low cool wave to each other for the same reason that no one will ever tell you that a Disney vacation sucks... They both got duped.
Scambo,
In stock form I tend to agree with you, but with some modifications to the engine, an upgrade to a six-speed transmission (and a bunch of other stuff) I absolutely love my H-D. It's not a screamer, but for me "It's the journey, not the destination".
I have zero desire to get a different motorcycle...
