Is It wrong to really really want one of these LOL

night rod is gorgeous! rocket III feels pretty ace too though Did you know the night rod is the only harley in production that was designed in the UK?!

No doubt there's another cruiser in my future. Not for a few years yet though... Thought I was goign to be stuck with foot forward for my leg, for a while, and the idea didn't horrify me. Tell you, I wouldn't buy a Harley though, I'd get the Suzuki Intruder, that's a lovely bit of kit IMO.

IMHO.........

Trouble with most H-D buyers is that it's all about image - otherwise they'd all ride Victory...

...and it's image that's killed the V-Rod - non H-D riders don't talk to you because you ride a Harley and H-D riders don't talk to you because you ride a V-Rod ("ooooh, liquid cooled and the wrong shaped V there mate, not a real Harley...")

You'd be surprised at the number of people who buy V-Rod, go to a rally and then go trade it in for a big twin just to fit in!

...if that all makes sense

IMHO Harleys only really make sense on the sunny highways of America....wet/greasy A-roads of Britain no thanks!

Then there is the whole you look like a tit part, unless you are wearing chaps and a leather waistcoat with of course no helmet.....just a flag motive bandana of some kind. If you manage to deal with that, as soon as you get off the bike you look a tit as you are wearing a leather waistcoat and chaps Its lose/lose really.

Get some screaming eagle pipes on to replace that standard system and your laughing.

Your all right about the image though, I'd feel silly in this country riding one, specially in my textiles and arai helmet LOL.

Still want one though,
