Think of all those Muslims building Harleys.


OMG! Suicide Road Kings! Harley has been looking overseas for some time,
particularly for smaller bikes than their traditional line (ignoring the
Aermacchi adventure). This year they have the 'Street' a 500 cc bike and
have dropped the Dyna that's been around since 1991, or 1971 if you
count the original FX. The market is changing.


HDs aren't worth half their price. I'll take a Honda anytime.


So are you riding a Honda or just pontificating. Right now the line up
in my driveway consists of one Harley and two Suzukis. If someone gave
me a Honda I'd ride that too although I'd prefer the new Kawasaki H2 SX
SE. A 1000 cc supercharged engine with 173 horsepower would get me where
I'm going. fwiw, at $22,000 it's up in the Harley price range. Even the
Triumph Tiger 1200 XCA is $21,750.
