Got to keep up with technology, or die in the scrapyard of yesteryear. I recall the heresy when HD went with fuel injection, ABS brakes, onboard navigation, etc. But now, few would want to go back to carbs, paper maps, & standard brakes. I can't imagine someone not wanting the best braking, suspension, & power available. Just because Honda or BMW did it first, doesn't make it a bad idea. HD has always lagged behind the industry.
Mark; i was loyal to Harley for 28 years. 12 new Harleys.
When i decided to buy my next bike i did some comparison shopping and purchased a BMW K1600B or bagger.
Still love Harleys, just accept that they are more like owning a 57 Chevy restomod. Cool looking with reasonable performance.
The BMW K1600B is a whole different planet. If you love riding, especially back roads it's an absolute blast! Test ride one and your hooked.
I'm no longer loyal to one brand. Ride what you like! Do what's best for you! Personally i like German made products. The German way of doing things.
