I have had HD's in my garage, and worked on them...but my gargage at home - never. I'd never have a big block, just totally unsuitable for the roads I ride. But I'd like a Sportster, just stock so I can modify it to my preference, I'm happy with an 883...they were made to compete with the British 650's and give similar performance, so am happy with that. The one Harley I would've bought if i'd been able to was the XR1200 - wow, a Harley built to handle...alloy swingarm, rearsets, USD forks, 6 pot calipers, all the right stuff. Handling honed by 9 times AMA champion Scott Parker...why does HD ignore the one sport where it excells...and why don't buyers want an HD that can really do what a rider wants ?
