Don't need to...I do my homework before I buy a bike and I buy one that doesn't need to be worked on...all mine requires is oil and filter changes once in a while, and maybe clean a few filters every now and then...I'd rather ride than turn wrenches any day...
Great for you. 40k 04 Harley Ultra with custom motor. Just tires, breaks, oil changes. 52k on 2010 Harley Limited. Oil change every 5k and rear tire 15-18k may need brakes every other tire. Front tire at 30k with new brakes. Lots of cleaning bugs off. 82 Honda CBX motor is out for carb overhaul.
New bike just had 1k change to get ready for 6,000 three week trip. Maybe a Yamaha RD350 next week is the price is right. It will need some work. But air cooled 2 strokes are easy.
I do my home work too. I don't plan on working on them but I know how. I don't trash talk others bikes or give my opinion about their bike.
Harleys are the best made bikes in the world...there, is that better?
No they're not.
They're the second best.
