I want a Harley some day
My take on the Harley vs. Metric debate. They all have the good points and bad points. As far as money my take is that a Harley will have a higher buy in with a higher resale, a metric will have a lower buy in with a lower resale. Not sure on what the price for Harley parts are. Metric parts replacement parts or somwhat hard to find after they get 10-15 years old. Aftermarket parts are somewhat expensive for both. Myself I ride an 08 Honda Shadow Spirit 750, love it and if someone doesn't like that it's not a Harley, then that's there problem.
