because the whole world revolves around resale value, right? uh-huh. see, i'd rather ride a bike than sell it, you may disagree, that's just my opinion. i'd also rather have a bike that's reliable, that i don't have to spend hours cranking over to start, and that i don't have to take to the mechanic every weekend. and yes, you are safer wearing a helmet (and i don't mean those ridiculous pudding-bowl helmets favored by the hardley ableson crowd). don't give me that crap about how "oh, if you hit wrong with a helmet it'll break your neck". rrrrright. not gonna happen. beleive it or not, you are also safer wearing a full leather jacket and pants. i see more people on these "rice-rockets" wearing appropriate clothing than on harleys. harleys are barely even motorcycles anymore, they are more like fashion accesories. you seem too obsessed with the pre-teenage mentality of being badass with your hardley to realize how awful they really are. you also don't seem to realize that i was showing the same kind of disdain for the person in question that you are, the serious sportbiking community frankly doesn't care for this behavior either.
here are some figures for you:
Yamaha YZF-R6 vs. Electra glide
weight: 396lbs vs. 650lbs
power: 98hp vs. 60hp
displacement: 599cc's vs. 1450cc's
