get none. all noise no go. american made motorcycles are kind of a joke they sound all bad *** but take the V-rod for examplt HD's bad boy speed rod bike, 1300cc Vtwin or some crap, makes 115hp at the crank or something along those lines. my 636 makes 108 at the wheel. also they arent that reliable and are expensive as hell to fix. if you want a cruiser/chopper style bike go jap. if you want a sport bike thats cheap good torque go buell its made by HD but is bit better than getting an HD itself

sorry about my last post i thought it was will that posted those listings hahaha. now that i know its matt i say go with a standard style HD you would work good with one of those bikes. the 3rd one would be stupid its WAY to long to steer and WAY to fat of a rear tire that you cant lean the bike at all. its made to sit and go up and down a trailer. the 2nd one looks just stupid. but i still stick by what i said that HD's dont make crap for power just alot of noise.

haha yeah "the kids don't need christmas" is something i'd say.

yeah i often have to laugh at the ridiculously loud harleys that are trying as hard as they can and still not accelerating impressively fast.

He was asking $5600 for the first one. Looks like he is willing to come down some. I am gonna call later today. Maybe I should buy this one, since snw thinks harleys are crap.

After being in the Motorcycle world for a while, and a mechanic for almost as long, I am Anti-Harley..Nothing against cruisers. Just the overpriced look at me bikes that wear a hole in your wallet. Parts literally falling off is one reason I don't ride behind Harleys. Too many bad experiences. There are some American chopper brands that build good bikes. Harley does not build the engine for Buell any more, and if they were comfortable I might buy one. I am not a big guy, but they still give me cramps. Yamaha built some good cruisers. Check out a vmax. You would like it.

It's sad. Harley got Porsche to design their V-Rod engine, and it still can't keep up with my 1980 Honda. hahahahaha

that cbr is f-ing awesome. that's my favorite kind of look for a bike and i've never been able to find one. it really does look awesome. the only aspect to affect handling with that is the weight distribution no? it doesn't look like it changed the rear arm any i don't think.

I dunno if I would call any 600cc scary fast after some of what I have ridden. But, they are fast.
That CBR looks cool except for the suspension.
Good price, hope it's not a basket case.

maybe not scary fast. but as long as it's faster than a stock TT, i think i could deal. but who knows. i might get bored. i've never even riden a bike before. i'm going to do something with one this summer though. get someone to teach me to ride or buy one or something.

I have been on some fast 600's. They can be built. But, when you have to hit 11,000 rpm to see any oomph, it's disappointing. I like my 900. Does a good job. Here she is. In all her low maintenance daily driver glory. Might as well throw some pictures up. This is the post ***** thread. haha

Before going black.

that looks kinda cool. not to sound selfish, but i still like mine better... 202 on the speedo is as fast as she can physically go stock, just gotta add a turbo and some better tyres and i am set for 230.
