RHC/members-Why Import Motorcycles? ??

[rbatson2]

I just had this discussion with someone this evening. I have a honda VFR800, I researched it after someone here suggested it. I need to look back at who suggested it and thank them.. I love the bike. Its a great midground bike. I will one day own a Harley low-rider but when I went to bike week in Myrtle Beach, I was considered a ricer(BIG TIME). I love the USA and I try to buy American made whenever I can but we just don't build a bike like this here. We have the Buell but its no where near the performance of the jap bikes. Try low 13s, thats the best 'we' can do. Thats a revised 1200 sportster engine. I'd much rather buy an american sports bike but I just have to go with the performance and value, in this situation. Believe me, if the USA offered it, I'd be riding it.

P.S. Pics of the low-ridwer will be up as soon as I buy one(hmmm.. 2003 would be a great year to buy one.. 100yr anniversary).
