The Harley fans will say that they are completely reliable, I say, the Japanese bikes are more reliable. I also feel that they are overpriced, un-original, status symbols. They are, basically a mixture of bin parts. Harley uses the same tanks, fenders, forks wheels, engines, and most everything else, on all of there bikes. They just mix them up and call them different models. Fortunately, this results in some pretty interchangeable parts. They are also way too heavy.
Anybody have/ride street bikes?

tsk,tsk,tsk--no VMax riders here. A long time ago (probably from 85-94) I had: V65Magna, VMax and Fatboy. The fatboy lasted 2 mo.--no power, and Kali traffic. The other 2 were 'wheeliable' at 90 plus, although the VMax was heavily modified (in my apartment).
I'd like to say I'd buy the new VMax, reputed to be coming out with 1800cc and 200hp, but I know my driving habits probably haven't changed much and I need to stay alive for a while, at least for people other than myself. I'll stick with dirt for now.

My dad is :)
He currently has the '05 Anniversary edition, before that was the first year '85 and before that a '97 which was his commuter vehicle when we lived in So. Cal. He loves it, it's a nice bike...just not my style.

i like it so far. it's all original except the tires and it has only 16,000 miles. i just needed something cheap, fun, and reliable to ride. now i have it.
high performance is not an issue with me. i do my racing on the mx track.
I've got an '03 Kawasaki Z1000. After owning a number of supersport bikes, my back had enough (at only 25) and I bought this baby. Best streetbike i've ever owned. From sport-tourer to weekend twisties to trackbitch...it does it all.:D
...on a side note, how do i add images here??
