(anyway, changing the seat solved that problem)
My main issues with Harley is their mass which make it hard to be daily riders. Getting in & out of garage is a serious hassle being only 145 lbs.
Another reason is I am not really a fan of V-twin. They are old, inefficient and not really fluid smooth and never high power. I really like the japs 4-in-line. But I give credit to Harley for its impeccable finish.
I likes best the two stroke engines of the 1970s better that the 4 cyl crotch rocket feel and better than a Harley. Ha Ha Ha top that guys.
