    Mate its taken me nearly 50 years to get my first Harley, I've been lucky enough to have gone through the Japanese and Euro bikes and all good bikes, but I can't see me changing this one out.

    The most fun bike I had was actually the smallest, RZ 350, the power band was a thing a pure joy and shenanigans.....

    My 1st road bike was a Harley so i havn't ridden many others(dont want any other), but i have always like the look of the old Suzuki 1100cc Katanas, but i would probably kill myself on one. I will go and wash my mouth out with soap now.

    i had a triumph speedmaster before my softy , they are good bikes but have nuthin on harley ...

    but if i had to get something else it would probably be a triumph rocket just for sheer grunt and they look pretty tough with

    a few things done to them

    BMW R1200RT, although it's like riding a feather after riding "THE KING". Also like the BMW R1200C or CL, Trumpy TBird or Rocket.  I guess I'll always have a soft spot for BMW bikes, technologically advanced and don't have that "plastic" feel to them. Don't think much of their cars though, a poor man's Merc IMO.

    Buell S1  or a Trumpy Speed Triple, or a MV Augusta Brutale, or a ------------------------- You get the drift !!!!!

    But if I could just get another Harley I,d have a Fifties Bobbed Panhead !!!    (   Shame it wouldn,t be reliable though !!   just Kin Kool !! )

    If i'm right the question was "If you replaced your Harley with another manufacturer's bike, what would it be?"

    The Rocker is a Harley, Jesse Rooke makes customs, my opening question was do custom manufacturers count, if so I'd fancy one of those. Pretty simple I thought.

    Oh you were trying to be funny, oh I get it, haha, sew my sides they split :)

    Grisso 1200 . My sensible choice, the criteria being a lazy V twin that handles well, but the devil tells me to get a Ducati streetfighter, knowing I'd lose the license over the first weekend of owning it.  Think I'll stick with what I got, I can't get into too much trouble on it.

    I think it would be a Triumph. Not sure which one though as I like the Speedmaster and the Tiger. Both fun to ride but the Thunderbird looks cool too.

    And I've just purchaced a WR450f to play on.

    Ducati 1098 or a CBR1000 Repsol (orange)

    actually looking for one of these at the moment - but still keeping Harley
