I like the look of the Harley Davidson but I want performance..I was looking at the specs and my cousins ATV makes more power than most of their bikes. What are my options? I really like the Ducati 999R but used in my area they're still $10,000 dollars and more
Answer:
Kyle, you sure CAN use a Harley for a doorstop. I always kept mine inside the home when it wasn't on the road so it might as well be holding the door for me while it's there.
Harleys are like horses. You feed them, you pet them & they’ll be friends for life.
The ones you've heard about must have been poor mistreated Harleys (& I'd love to get my hands on the *** who'd mistreat one), this is why they ended up where they did.
You say you want speed? A Harley can give you that…. unless you're looking for something in the space shuttle category. Personally, I think 70 MPH is speed enough on two wheels…. & you don't need to worry about slamming headfirst into a brick wall.
I've seen three categories of road bikes which I have labeled “Crotch Rockets, Rice Burners & Hogs”. Of course we all know that these names are used by the GP but my description might be a bit different:
Crotch Rockets are those things on which you lie down, prone, headfirst & zoom into traffic not caring that your dead body will fit into an accordion case once they unfold it from the wall
Rice Burners are your generic Asian born motorcycles that have you sitting straight up as if you were at attention at all times. Perfect targets for renegade semis & low flying aircraft. It would take a coffin for your body & separate box for your head after an accident on one of those….
Am I getting too graphic for you, Kyle?
Hogs are a different breed altogether. It's the only bike in the world that allows you to lie back & take it slow & simple the way things should be taken.No threats from either trucks or planes with this one & if you do run into a wall you're more likely to get whiplash than anything else.
I've known a lot of bikers over my 40 years & I've noticed a pattern…. very few of the Harley riders actually died while on their bikes while in almost each case those on the foreign jobs did.
If you want a bike that’ll be there for life, always trust the Harley. The imports are way too sneaky a breed.

Had you ever bothered to attend school, you'd know how to spell such words as retarded & rhetoric. I'm sure you heard the former quite often.
You need not worry that I may lower your IQ. That would be mathematically impossible. Of course, you wouldn't know that being anencephalic. Report Abuse
Answer:
To Kyle… Dude you don't know WTF you talking about. Get a life, A Girl And a HOG! Report Abuse
Answer:
K,
in my opinion there are 4 types of riders
1. Adrenaline riders (ride for the rush of speed and trill)
2. RUBS (rich Urban bikers the are the show offs and weekend tough guys) They Ride what ever type bike make the feel COOL
3. Commuters (Point A to B riders they ride what ever the can afford and is best for there income)
4. Old School ( Ride for the enjoyment of a long ride no rules per say just the rules of the road) yes they would rather one type of bike but would ride about any thing if they’d to.
some riders cross in to one or more of these types
I have a few Buddy's that have more than one type bike for that reason why limit your self to one thing.

So are we bashing HD just for fun ? Do you really have all this experience you claim to have ?? Cause this question makes it sound like you’re deciding what to purchase. Be careful what you claim to be my friend.
EDIT: Acting dumb ? That ought to be pretty natural for ya.
Answer:
I'm confused, you like the look of a 999 and a HD??? they don't really look anything alike so which is it???
GSX-R 1000 was determined to be the ideal open sportbike (under the domestiati* of course) this year by motorcycle world, so if you want the best performance there you go.
If you want something that looks like and HD but can pull like a sportbike look at a victory, but their pricy.

ducs are nice, too….but as with any italian bike, they can be tempremental, and require more service than japanese…
power wheelies can be done on nearly any bike, and 600s are great track bikes

I would like to rebuild the RC like the top pic. Or I might just make a fighter out of it. I'll sell it to ya when i'm done.
Answer:
John Deere tractors look cool too, but how could a person be interested in buying either a tractor or a Lamborghini? I'm always amazed by questions like this.
If you want performance the tractor isn't what you want. If money is an issue, an exotic Italian isn't the answer. Go with a nice solid no baloney Japanese sportbike. Go exotic later when money isn't an issue. You gotta save a few good things for later.
Answer:
If you want to do power wheelies and track days, a Harley is not the bike for you. You might look at a Buell. Most likely a Japanese 600 is probably what you should be looking at.
