I went to the suzuki dealer today to get some oil and a filter, the dude behind the counter was like your too young for that bike you should have a sport bike or something. I just like the cruisers and old school bobbers, but I also like naked sport bikes as well.

news flash, hype. harleys vibrate because middle aged men love vibrating steel in between their legs so harley makes them shake like hell. we NEVER had a problem with vibration with the victory's and they NEVER leaked oil. hell we've got an 8 year old harley outside that gets ridden all the time and it still doesn't leak any oil and still runs strong, has about 30k on it too. Shakes like a ----------er though. victorys were awesomely balanced, ohc and fuel injected and came with badass factory tuning software, we really never had any problems with them. shop owners bike had over 50k miles on it and it didn't leak a drop.

Re: starter street bike?
It's either because you don't want to replace shiny, expensive fiberglass cosmetic pieces when you lay the bike down, or maybe it's the same reason I was blasting around Spartanburg last night in a turbo Miata with no hood or fenders last night aka showing your ***.
