A friend of mine described Harleys as "Big inefficient motorcycles for big inefficient people" LOL. I've rented Harleys a few times. OK to rent, wouldn't want to own one. Handling sucks, can't carve turns. They make noise, it's fun to be seen on one, but it gets old after about 15 minutes.
Harleys are for people who like to talk about and look at bikes, beemers are for riders.
If anyone should question that, look at the mileage on used Harleys vs. used Beemers. That'll answer any questions!
