Hd has a great R+D department, some say they are overpriced. But look at what you are getting. i think they are more solid than other brands.
Also, remember, you can buy anything and have some type of problems. You only hear more of them when something is mass produced, like HD.
If you payed for a Cadillac and had problems, would you not buy another one :s Or even a Chevy or ford?
And if you answer yes, WHY? :34:
Well said Smitty.
I like the way you never pull any punches and just lay it out there.
I owned a Honda 400 cmt years ago and never had any problems and my brothers owned Kaws and Hondas and never had issues or problems. I find that some of the issues discussed shouldnt be problems, wheel slap, wheel bearings failing at 15k. hard to believe. I am not upset about buying a Harley, I am surprised to see that many issues identified shouldnt be problems - not for a Harley, (in my mind anyway)
