Ricers on Bikes, ever seen this?

Unit-
I freely admit that Porsche has assisted Harley with their EVO engine and their new Revolution engine. I have no problem with that. Are you implying that Porsche is junk? Personally, the idea of driving the new VROD sounds interesting, but not what I would enjoy driving regularly. I admit that upping the horsepower to 115 in stock form is an unexpected surprise (especially since the engine is so much smaller), as is the concept of a Harley running at 9000 rpms for prolonged periods of time, but I still think it's too ricey for me. The whole motorcycle has been redesigned, and finally has all of the "technology" that the ricers like to brag about, which just isn't appealing to me. As far as older Jap bikes, they sure were built in 1960. They've been built in Japan almost as long as they have in this country. They just didn't last. I think it's fascinating that there are so many 70's Jap bikes in your neighborhood. Around here, the only ones still around are planters in back yards.

I'm glad we all agree that there is no denying that in the Harley vs. ricer debate, one is junk while the other is the best. It's too bad you guys haven't figured the correct answer, yet. Oh, now, relax. In your world, you're correct, and in my world, I'm correct. This time. Peace?

Take care,
~Chris
