Question:
"Harley Davidson is a great bike."
I've read it so many times on CarQnA.com and its just not true!
Answers:
In detail what is the process to install a cylinder sleeve in a 2 stroke bike engine?
It is a statement. Just like someone could say Honda is a great bike, Yamaha is a great bike, pizza is a great food, ? was a great president, ??? is a great actor. It does not say by all the ratings that a Harley is known to be a better bike than any other bike.Honda cars are great, and Toyota cars are great also. That does not state one is better than the other. You stated that "Harley Davidson is a great bike " IS JUST NOT TRUE. That is just YOUR opinion. Should your statement be classed as a violation. Everyone has there own opinion.
have you ever seen a davidson? or ride one? its AMAZING.

The Norton The Triumph The BSA or The Vincent?
Define "great" .See, Harleys are pretty. They have style, and power, and they handle like ... walruses with damaged flippers.
But some folks like pretty.
Me, I like "durability" and I prefer BMW. Some folks like "Fast" and gogo for the Yamahondakawazukis. Others like "sex" and buy Italian (mmmmmm, Ducati!). I don't know what possesses people who pay good money for those lawn-tractors Triumph is making these days, but perhaps they watched Brando in "The Wild One" and actually bothered to note that he was riding a Britbike.
Different strokes for different butts.
I agree, though, folks who say "HD=Great" as a fact are ninnyhammers and smoothbrains.

Old, slow, poor brakes, and worst of all, handling.

Three Wheeler Trikes - how do they compare to the regular 2-wheel motorcycles for riding, etc?
Actually, from all the misinformation I've read here and on other sections of CarQnA.com, I'd say the majority of answer's are opinion, not truth.Have you ever outran a cop on your motorcycle?
I admit it sometimes rubs me the wrong way when people say things like that - not just about harleys, but about anything. Cars, bikes, moisturizers.you name it.It sometimes comes off as snotty. I know that's not really how it's meant in most cases though.
What is the ducatis superbike1098 s top speed?
I've done it myself - for example when answering a question about the hottest avatar (different category obviously!) I would answer "Me! Because the Rune is the most beautiful bike ever made!" Even as I wrote it I considered adding "I think" but then just said the hell with it.
Anyway, I it's not so much harleys people object to as the people who own them. After all, why should a simple object stir up so much antipathy? The bikes themselves, although they are not for me and never will be, have never bothered me and I could care less about them.
How do i change the oil on a YZF 250?
But I do despise the attitudes of some owners. I've encountered some truly obnoxious people and have been dissed on the road by some harley riders. (By dissed I mean cut off, endangered, whatever).

I want to test motorcycle hand pedal force.which factory have such professional transducer?
To claim that they buy a Harley because it is superior to other manufacturers machines is quite frankly delusional. If looked at objectively Japanese / German / Italian bikes are far superior to Harleys.
I'm looking for a Honda Dirt Bike?
Harley to my mind has become lazy & does not innovate because they believe that they are producing what the public want, so they just keep producing the same machines year after year.
I have a 2001 Yamaha R6, need new clutch leaver?
The same mentality was what ultimatley led to the demise of the British bike industry, consumers wanted the best for their money & that's what the Japanese gave them.

The same fate could easily befall Harley in the forseeable future unless it move with the times & puts real effort into R & D.

What is the difference between Harley-Davidson Sportster Custom and Sport?
No, I don't. It's an opinion and you are entitled to yours.True or not. What I don't care for is all the derogatory, insulting comments that crop up whenever that opinion is expressed. If you "have read it so many times", you also have seen the others.
If someone asks how to fix a Honda, they get answered, If it's about a Harley, they get told what a piece of crap they bought, etc. B.S. plus.
Does a motorcycle with a 250cc engine have enough power to get around town?
I've found a few people I agree with on most things here, unfortuately some have a strong anti-Harley bias.
The bias doesn't bother me, the personal insults do.
You have your opinion. I have mine, which wasn't expressed.
Ride you own, leave mine alone. (both of them)

Does any one have a yamaha why yh50 scooter?
The Harley Davidson motorcycle IS a great bike, when you keep in mind it does exactly what its designers intend it to do, and nothing else. You want to go fast? Buy a Japanese or European sports bike. You want to cruise in comfort, and attract attention then buy a HD. To each their own, I say. Personally I ride a Bandit 1200, which does what I want it to, but I see why people buy Harleys. They are actually a lot of fun when ridden in the manner for which they are designed.Hey ladies do you find motocross racers atractive?
Quasar? You're an idiot. Yes, the Vincent was a great bike for its day. Harley Davidson didn't copy it, nor did Vincent copy HD. Both manufacturers made their own designs, based around the same engine format, a V-twin. HD were building bikes a long time before Vincents were made.
Why did Kawasaki discontinue the Drifter?
harleys are great bikes if u enjoy trying to mend them on the side of the roadDoes anyone know if there is a motorcycle helmet that looks like a cowboy hat?
Thud thud rattle rattle stop! PUSH. Sounds like a Harley.I think it's OK to say a Harley is great. It's OK to say Triumphs are great. They've been around a long long time and have a cult following so they're not poor, mediocre, or average. They are great. I like the ease of jumping on a jap bike a thrashing it around but I love to cruise round on my Harley. But to own one of these you have to put up with poor finish, expense and a hard time from others on occasions. But if despite all this you still enjoy them that's all that matters.
Being a violation, no. That's personal opinion. HD's are good bikes, great bikes, no more than any other, except maybe for Kaw's. They just market the hell out of them, and they will get more expensive with the factories shutting down.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As a Harley rider, I will tell you that in some ways they are a "great" bike," and in other ways they are not. I own one that is 20 years old, and yes, I have to work on it. With care and maintenance, the engines will last for a long time due to their low RPM nature. Overall, the bikes are easy to work on and simple, with the exception of a few areas. I don't care what anyone thinks about it. I bought a Harley because I have always wanted one. I have had Hondas and Kawasakis, and they were "great" bikes, too. Just in a different way. Harleys are in many ways still using 1936 technology, which if you are a technology buff, will not create enthusiasm. However, if you like the classic 1936 American technology, and history then you will be ensthusiastic about a Harley. A Harley is like an old Mustang or a '69 Camaro. It is old school American pushrod, carbureted (mostly) class and power. It's all in what you like. I love the sound and look, but I also like the sound of a really healthy Japanese Inline 4, or a nice Japanese V-twin with a healthy exhaust note, such as an SV1000. They are all motorcycles, and as motorcyclists, we all need to stick together, regardless of what we ride, because there are too many people already against us. I don't care what you ride, Live to Ride, Ride to Live!What's the difference between vlaskos big mouth and loud pipes?
