Same for the Yamaha Raider. It'll stomp a HOLE in anything I rode at the HD dealer sans the muscle....and even then, it'd be down to the riders

And having toured that plant twice, I saw the workers taking more breaks than working in a 2 hr span, that's for sure. THAT'S what you're paying for! Not quality/performance/handling/innovation. You're paying for UNION DUES

Thats why I wound up with a 99 electra glide classic for $5k

Might need to take a page out of your book, Freddy.
