Yes, I've had 5 Harleys and a Buell. I won't say anything bad about Harleys -- now some of the people that ride them . . . well . . . best left unsaid.Just frustrating that he is comparing 2 VERY different motorcycles each with their own strong points. Both nice bike just different.
Funny when I bought my first BMW I owned a Yamaha Royal Star which was very much like the Road King. And I was buying a BMW (R1100RT) because it WAS different. Better handling and better in the mountains! I loved them both but there was no comparison because they have very different personalities. One can never replace the other.
I sometimes miss my 2008 FatBoy.
