a new bike.
I was going to buy a BMW R1200 but
awfully expensive.
Anyone have any Harley stories.
Reliable?
Problems?
Belt drive?
Electrics?
Oil leaks?
Dealer network?
Gas mileage?
Come on, be honest. Don't be afraid to tell the truth.
I want something that lasts that I don't need to work on everyday.

Thanks. That's a nice bike. I was thinking of the 1200 Sportster because i ride mostly back roads and am used to sport bikes. Would that be better than the 883?
