Harleys are too hard to own. The other two are better. Too many Harleys are stolen. The Modern Harley's are great the older classics were not that great over rated under powered and still a theft magnet.

I love all motorcycles, but I look at a Harley and feel nothing.

Yup, exotics only as toys you have no reliability or economic expectation of.

It's going to be fun tinkering with this. Not taking up space in my garage, not costing me anything
