Wannabee Harley's....well perhaps the styling came from the Harleys many years ago but the technology, dependability, and quaility of the Star line far surpasses Harley now. I honestly wanted a Harley before I bought my V-Star 1300 and looked at the Dynaglide Lowrider really hard. It was practically the same bike as my V-Star, had less power, poorer brakes, and just felt lower in quality. I probalby still would have gotten the HD if the prices were somewhat competitive but really, if you want to pay $7K more for an inferior bike just because it has a name on it, then I suppose that you also would by designer t-shirts for twice the price just so you can look cool.
I like the Harley name, I like what it is about, I have been riding since I was 8 years old, I have been to the rallies and such, but I just couldn't be that dumb with my money.
