Jim,
I could buy a crotch rocket for less than 7 grand that will pass my
bike like I was going backwards, but it still would not be a Harley. I
just don't think you are getting a "thumbs up" from passersby in their
cages (cars) on a crotch rocket or a BMW no matter how
technically superior it is. To me even a motor scooter is fun to
ride, but they are like fat girls, fun to ride, but you would not
want your friends to see you on one. ;^)
