You know I'll never do it. I know I'll never do it, but somedays I stop and think about it. IT being buying something other than a Harley. There was a Yamaha Roadliner parked outside the restaurant Bubba_T and I had lunch at today. With the exception of the directionals looking like someone stole them off a little kiddy Buck Rogers Rocket ride, it was a cool bike. Big sucker too. Gotta go at least 100lbs more than a Road King. Design impetus is obviously an H-D Road King. Engineering is pure Japanese. Lots of little solutions looking for problems all over the bike. Waaaaaaaay overdesigned, but still as a total package a cool looking ride. Even up close. From 20 feet it's a standout. hmmmmmmmm didn't I date a girl like that once ? Okay, I'm drifting again.My point is according to the owner, you can order up the bike with a lot of different looks to suit your taste vice buyin the standard package (ala H-D) and then buying more parts. I've said this on other threads. This is where the industry is at right now in my opinion. Options without takeoffs. H-D really needs to get on this bandwagon if they want to survive. I will always own at least one Harley, but I find myself spending more time looking at bikes like this Roadliner today.
