I got to agree with DakotaZeb. Ride what you want, and what you like. I will tell you this, Harley is not the bottom line for sure. To be completely honest with you, my 08 SEUC leaves alot to be desired as far powertrain performance is concerned. The only reason why I don't sell mine right now is I would lose about 15K off of my initial investment, and I just cannot do that. Great looking bike, for sure, but engine gets as hot as a cannon, and doesn't shed the heat well. My bike still pings like crap when its hot outside,(damaging over time to the motor) & burns oil in between changes, what else can I say. Oh, and did I mention, I need to do another rear base seal gasket at 15K, third base seal with this bike since new, never had to do a base seal with any of my other bikes, all Harleys too. I think when the motor blows in mine, I'm going to drop to 96 cube, should run alittle cooler, and maybe even better, in the long run. I will however keep the bike, just won't buy another Harley. Good thing I have a comprehensive warranty, but when it runs out I'm screwed. In fact you guys can scream all you want, but I'm thinking about buying a new GoldWing next.. My friend has one and LOVES his.. Says he has never had any warranty issues or problems ever with his, and best of all, he says his bike doesn't ping, or cook the motor while in operation, or blow gaskets or burn oil. Wow, must be nice, mine has done all of those things in less than 2 years ownership time. Harley's apology is to send me a picture book in the mail, with an I'm sorry letter..Guess I'll be reading that book when my warranty runs out and my bike is broke with a cover over it in the garage. Hopefully I have my Honda by then...Nuff Said..
