Not for the Isle of Man race, it isn’t. That’s what it’s built for.

LOL! Wannabe?

I've heard that 98% of all Harleys are still on the road.

.

.

The other 2% made it home.

I wouldn't expect it to run Windows. Would add a whole new meaning to 'blue screen of death.'

$41,000??? OK, a fast bike is about $14,000, leaving about $27,000 for gas, or about 10,000 gallons, or basically gas for the life of the bike and its owner. How is this a savings of anything??

I had a buddy in the Air Force who constantly knocked Harleys and their owners. He said they had to constantly work on them to keep them running. He had a '70 Chevelle LS-6 with a 454 (not the original). He spent every weekend doing to it what he lambasted the Harley owners for. He never caught the irony.

I've always liked this one:

On the eighth day God created a Harley.

On the ninth, tenth and eleventh He fixed it.

Would this thing ever be a blast to ride to work, but for that price, I could buy an Amazonus, put a hi-po boxer in it, tweak the ride, and have $20k left over for fuel.

If you're gonna give me one, I'll take it, otherwise I'll stick with my for now. ~70 mpg and adequate power for the commute across town.
