Question:

Answers:

To Old Cynic; from the late 50s to early 70s, your brit crap couldn't touch the sportster and as far as your knowledge of Harley, it couldn't fill a thimble made for a midget. They corner well; you just have to be at least an intermediate rider. When you're able to get rid of your training wheels, step up and try a Harley. You won't be sorry.

By the way Harleys are rubbish, they dont go round corners (the fun bit of motorcycling) and are just for posers. When did a Harley last win any major race or championship ? (Other than one for grossness or pose value). Nasty ugly heavy crap. have you ever looked inside a harley engine? Hideous castings, and crap engineering. They needed Porsche to re-engineer them to make them go (sort of ) properly. If you want a bike that does what bikes should do (go fast, handle well,stop well, be reliable buy Japanese)
