yer yer i guess we have all heard it, "dont buy one mate ul regret it, get a triumph" blah blah blah.

my responce is normaly " well so do helicopters dickhead". You have obviously been misinformed!

What do you guys think?

To be honest the only issue iv had was a little electrical and a primary seal leak on an old girl once.

cheers.

 

Cunts that say that shit don't deserve explanations because no amount of explaining would ever get them to understand.
So why waste time

agree

so what if it does, just call road asist if your lucky enough to have it, if not it's just like every other vehicle some do some dont

?
so what is the question ????

only queer cunts ride jap cruisers

I think it's a version of penis envy mixed in with the fact that once upon a time long ago, some Harley's did break down unreasonably often.

I don't care, mine has been just great.

 

Wankers like that just don't get it!

same as the wankers who look at one of my tough cars and i hear em say to to their missus, "i bet it drinks the fuel" hahaha wankers.

i jusat seem to be getting those statements alot more these days. i have a Ducati 1198 and it too breaks down twice now.

contractor i had the true evil's of ducati's 70's model's if it looked like rain the cunt would not start

I never say anything back to those silly pricks.

They're usually fishing for a bite or just dumb as fuck.

I've seen statements on here like "Dont get a Shovel first off, need to get something more recent to start with"

Sure the old Harleys needed a lot of maintance, but I rekon a lot of the old Brit brands did as well.

Just the way it was. For some unknown reason Harley copped the brunt of "They always break down" but 8 times out of 10 it was because of crap service.

Oi C*nt ,dont knock Jap cruisers cause your puting your self in with the Priks that knock Harleys.

That aside, the Japs are into old Harleys big time. I mentioned the Article on The JJ. Fuk I wish I had the time and the money to do what they do, Ohh and of course, a Fuking Government that would allow it.

My buddies JD model must be some sort of anomaly.
His can still race and win against any Jap bike ever made...

Yer there are some out there that will never understand but in saying this there are some Harley riders that can do some damage as well, how often have we read on forums that someone owning a Harley will put shit on another Harley because of the motor it is running eg: Shovels or older ones break down all the time and leak oil, Evo's crack engine cases and do cam bearings, Twin Cams cam chain tensior shits itself oil pumps are fucked and the list goes on I heard it all.

It's good to have a opinion but sometimes it's better to keep to yourself it's hard to explain to a non Harley rider about bikes when they read some shit from someone who owns a Harley that likes to knock another Harley owners bike, anyway my two cent's worth.

tell em to FUCK OFF!!!

sorry wimbo ........... are you a queer cunt or something ????

i dont like jap cruisers they have no sole .......

i'd ride a wog hog (guzzi) befor a jap cruiser ..... well might give a break to the old xs yammie ......

i do like some jap bikes the old honda 4's kwaka zx's from the 70's stuff like that

i also like the old bimmer's have one in the shed .

rode all sorts of bikes never owned a jap road bike not to my taste ....

also so your saying someone who has never owned a old bike or car who has little or no experiance with these bikes to jump on one and off ya go

not understanding that these bikes are high maintanance .....and wonder why they shake themselves to peices after each ride you do need to run a spanner over them .....

but if ya have the time and patiance go for it .....

My 0.2...

 

I had a Jap cruiser before the FatBoy.  It was Yammie XVS VStar and I will say that I reckon it handled much better than the Fatboy.  Maybe it was because it was smaller bike - I don't know exactly - but I loved it, no doubt.

It looked bloody good too in my opnion.

With regards to the OPs original post - I know a bloke that has a $90,000 BMW car, and yep - it broke down - nothing is perfect.

Cheers

Mongrel

please dont call me a hoggie far from it .....

been around bikes all my life i dont care what ppl ride BUT

i love how some ppl take these forums so serious ......

i do see the funny side of it all ... i meet up with mates who ride all sorts of bikes crotch rockets jap cruisers euro trash and we give each other shit about our choice of ride ,

but we all ride diferent bikes for different reason's anyway i am who i am and will never change

Yeah MJ, I ride a Jap Cruiser.Suzuki LC.

Done a 100,00k on it, mainly in Sydney Traffic.

But I've had numerous bikes over the Years including an Old BMW R100s.78 model.

Couldnt afford the 90.

Getting A fully rebuilt 1984 FXST next week as well.

But definately keeping the bike in the picture mate, heaps of soul for me.

Sorry I might be the only one to not believe in the "it don't matter what your riding as long as your riding" bullshit that people go on with. Yeah I owned a few old jappers and British, also rode dukes but it was always a build up to own a Harley and a means to get by untill I got one. My sights were always in the same place from when I got my licence. Yeah I might have had tunnel vision and yeah I might be small minded but I don't give a fuck. I love Harley's And I don't get the whizz bang things but most of all don't get the jap cruisers and prob would not ride them if they were the only bikes on earth. But that's just me. No offence Wimbo. Oh yeah and I wave to every rider.

still got the 4 speed kicker and shovel ???

nthrn syd eh probley up my way .......

chriso it dont matter what ppl ride i just like stiring ppl up and getting bite's

i miss my 900ss duc the most well and the 250 single duc and my hailwood to ....... and a few others

i actully never wanted a harley but rode a modern one liked the feel so sold the duc and got a harley....

still handles like a bag of shit and wont stop ........ compared to the duc's but by fuck it is fun punting it along the old as fast as i can
