2014 Harley Davidson

[Bappo]

Have owned 3 of them; Roadster, FatBob, and Road King. Traded the King on the S10 and haven't looked back but I had no oil leaks, got GREAT gas mileage on the Roadster (which I miss the most) and was very comfortable riding long distances. Never changed the exhaust or reflashed or added chrome. Guess I didn't meet some of your expectations, eh?

I hate the stereotyping riders make based on what bike you own.

Glad to see water cooling. Amazing how they can keep the old school look and still keep advancing in technology beyond what most other manufacturers do.

They're out there and going places and some look used all good stuff but how do you look cool with your feet in maternity room stirrups ::005::

I,ve been riding Harleys for almost 40 years and I have had a love -hate relationship with them for just as long.When the wife and I go out we take the electra glide and if we go camping we drag along the trailer.I bought the yahama super T so when I can go out by myself,thats the bike I,ll be on.I don't care about all the H-D hype or "how can you ride a jap bike" crap.To me it means nothing.I LOVE motorcycles period! Harley has never been on the "cutting edge"of technology with their machines,they don't have too.Their owners are the most loyal people on two wheels but lately I think some of them want more for their hard earned $$.So I will continue to ride both machines but the super T will get most of my miles!!

I have both the Tenere and a 2008 Ultra Classic I rode the Tenere to Colorado from California this summer, 3850 miles. In the past five years I did it on the Harley. Across the desert I wish I had the Harley, but once in the Colorado rockies I was really glad to have the Tenere, The Harley is staying here along with the Tenere as it is the only way to ride with my wife and her long legs. Any motorcycle is good. I love the Tenere, best bike I have ever owned. But the Harley serves its purpose; two up its the best at that.

I'd say they did a pretty good job of hiding the liquid cooling parts on the new touring bikes but anything would be an improvement if they could eek just a bit more HP out of them stock as they're pretty doggy.

Having put a lot of 500-700 mile days on an Ultra Limited I can say that while it hasn't been a perfect bike it's never stranded me or dripped fluid from any of the three holes. The brakes aren't great and required rotors at 7k but I probably cooked them riding it hard (for a HD) in the rockies a couple summers back.

My Tenere is replacing my HD and a KTM but didn't cost 27 grand like a new Rushmore Ultra Limited will... what a deal!
