  • freeclimb64 says:

    a bike without braking light…
    really funny – want to see the first truck driving through this weird concept of more weird usa-engineering.

  • 69Mauarder says:

    I love the look of the bike but when someone is sitting on it looks kinda off…rider sits to high or something..need to sit in the bike more

  • mikisaikano says:

    so. you ll say that harley and this bike sucks? i ask you this cos im thinking about buying this one.

  • NoSweatOffMySack says:

    I wouldnt. Depends, do you want a harley that sounds like a harley or one that sounds like a yamaha? In 2008 they made some changes to the Fuel Injection that really sucks, (EPA bullshit). Crank bearings are junk in all of the 96″ engines. buy an older 88″ twin cam and put a 95″ kit in it, you’ll have a much more powerful engine that is much stronger and has better internals.

    HI EVERYONE,
    I am selling my Harley on eBay would you all have a look.
    eBay item 110369206127
    THANKS ALL Have a great day

  • NoSweatOffMySack says:

    Ahhh ha ha ha! You need to do YOUR research. i own several Harleys, two of which having the 96″ engine. Ask someone like Headquarters or Dark Horse about the crank bearings. My carburated 88″ in my 04 Eglide gets better milage and is much smoother than my 07 FXSTC or my 08 Night Train. Im speaking from experience, not from what i read in the brochure at HD. And in 08 they added a speed sensor to the FI so the damn things wont idle down until the speedo reaches 0mph. I know my shit, you DONT!

  • NoSweatOffMySack says:

    yeah, too bad their current changes are for the worse

  • fxstcccc says:

    i agree with you nosweat. i also own an 07 fxstc and i love the bike but that fuel injection sucks. my carburated ‘02 low rider was much smoother. didn’t know about the crank bearings though. they also had cam and cam bearing problems when the twin cam engines were first produced. my opinion the evolution engine is the most superior.

  • NoSweatOffMySack says:

    agreed, but the twin cam is a better power house than the evo, ill give them that, its just too bad you have to spend a fortune on a big engine kit and they still dont thump like a harley

  • TheSongslinger says:

    The license plate should be cloth and located on the riders back. I never saw a bike I didn’t love. 5*****s!

  • PissOnVictory says:

    Why don’t you all go buy a shitty polaris crap – fags!!!

  • roylastar1 says:

    so true, if ya took a picture of all hd’s together in a row, with black and white pictures, they would be all be the same model with cosmedics

  • V4royalstar says:

    Thanks hardly riders for reminding why I quit ridin HD. I owned em b 4 an after amf was sold, what crap they built ,I got tired of being broke down. Oh the shovel this, the knuckle that,the pan was the shit and evo is or isnt, dam it when I read that there still problems with HDs,or they shouldnt build it with that part. Hardly stupids, HD dosent own the patent for the V TWIN. People arent stupid, I U and everybody will buy the best product. Remember HD almost went out of business,

  • V4royalstar says:

    an why, Rice built more reliable motor and I just wanted thank all of you,who blog you tube an keep reminding that HD still builds crap. And if the TRUTH be told HD is for RUB dumass. When HD can produce A RELIABLE bike I will buy one. You say Hardly’s hold there value,well maybe they better hold there value after u put all that money in em ta make em better or to keepem going so u can your recoup $, when HD builds as reliable as my yam rstd 5yr unli. warr., untill then NEVER!

  • V4royalstar says:

    and for those who think I am against american made products. I own a Ford F-350 powerstroke diesel 650 hp an 525 lbs torq. I will never buy imported cars or Pickup

  • V4royalstar says:

    Ho ya!
    Have you herd, Harley Davidson got a new model;

    It’s called the Knot Head:

    It’s for Dim Wits who don’t know any better!

  • poppy757 says:

    Look up: KTM 990 Super DUKE Promotion 2007.

    Now isn’t that fun?

  • vinnym24 says:

    Come to florida where the average newborn harely is at 20,000 miles….many over 100,000. Reliability is not an issue, that’s why they sell.

  • V4royalstar says:

    that is wonderful that they get over 20000 miles. I bet u wont own 1of , or any ford,chev, or a dodge for what ever reason. all i was saying HD was crap I had 2 HDs in the 70&80s 77sporty i had,had air bubble in the cast alum. on the bottom of crankcase had to jb weld to hold the oil,2nd HD bought new in 1982, put 18,600 miles on the dam thing burned a hole in back cyc. it had been suck in air through a hole in the rubber flange between the carb and rear cyc. HD nor the dealer

  • V4royalstar says:

    would not stand behind there product. Take a black and white pic of all the HDs in a line up and u couldnt tell the diff. HDs marketing, does a mighty good job. Dazzel you with Brilance or baffle ya with bulshit, yuppie poser rub HD bikes!
