Crashing that Kawi had to hurt in more than one way. One of my favorite models of all time, that one was beautiful. Glad you are OK!
I will ride em all. My buddy Brandon just got a 1600 vstar and he loves it. Nate has a 2013 Street Bob and he loves it. Tim has an 87 FXR (that will pull tall wheelies all day long) and he loves it.
I mostly am a Kawasaki fan, but I would love to have one of the new 750cc Harleys.

I'm jealous of the road riders.
This area is like a rain forest with very low visibility with all the lush foliage.
Know more than one person who has cut a deer in half at 50 mph.
Not intended as a wise^%$ question but I can't seem to get used to a beautiful, rounded chrome headlight and stuff up top.
Seems to lazer focus sunlight right at my eyes and hard to get around for me.
Then again, I had to blackout the throttle housing on my atc90.
It was like getting punched in the face when the sun would hit it just right.

Here's my friend Tims FXR.
Attachment 184490
The engine was built by Micah Mclosky (lookup the 322 mph harley on RB racing site, he built the engine for that as well)
This is the fastest 80 inch (around 88 now) Harley I have ever seen.

Yea, crashing that bike really sucked, it was by far the nicest machine I've ever owned. Bought it in 03 with 740 miles on it. payed 6k for it.. crashed it in 05 had 9k on it.. got $1800 for it crashed. Had my Harley in my garage 2 weeks after I crashed.. and still have it to this day..Originally Posted by DohcBikes

A Harley is a Harley, everything else is an imitation.
I like the stock 70's FLH models.
When I would ride mine, I left the house with the thought that it might not get me to where i was going, so whenever it did, it was like a bonus.
If I wanted to be sure I would get to where I was going I would drive a Hundai or a Toyota.
If i wanted a bike that handled and went fast, I'd simply buy a new Kawi Nninja. They only go 197 mph and 0-100 in 5.5 seconds
I like vintage stuff, imo, a new Jag is not a Jag [some now have Ford engines], a new Mustang is not a Mustang. Sure they will definitely get you to where you are going at 0 - 60 in 5 seconds with 400 hp, 35 mpg, heated leather seats and wine glass holders, but where's the fun in that?

I think the yamaha/harley debate is an apples to oranges thing for sure. Both are awesome in their own way and I have no preference.
Power wise, I can't speak for the 102, but I've seen a 1602cc (bout 98") yammi race a 2013 96" dyna, both were stock, both excellent riders, and the Dyna beat it through every gear.
The Yamaha, 05 I believe, has never had anything but maintenance. The 2013 Dyna has been in for electrical repairs 3 times, albeit with excellent customer service each time at Scottsdale Harley.
If I get a cruiser it will be a Kawasaki Vulcan 2000.
