Hey guys I have been a member for a while but I havent been able to get a bike because of all of my payments I have to make... bills dontchaknow. Well my truck will be paid off in January and that means its bike time. The wife has already ok'd anything I want however she is really pushing me toward Harley-Davidson due to the fact that she has tons of family in wisconsin and in the chicago area (where she is from) and everyone in her family rides a harley.
Im just not sure what to do. A 18,000$ bike is not the problem. I just am not sure of reliability concerns and other things that we have all heard about the dealers and service departments with that company.
My choices are
2007 Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod Night Rod Special edition. About 18,600 out the door.
2006 or 07 Warrior
2006 or 07 Hayabusa
2006 or 07 M109 Suzuki Boulevard
Something Big, comfortable and with a ton of power.
Basically Im wanting something with lots of grunt. I rode a buddies v-rod street rod and other than the mid controls it was awesome. Im 6'6" and 275 so I was cramped with the controls directly under my butt about 10 inches away. The Night rod has the forward controls. I am just worried about issues I have seen on their forums. I guess Im just looking for you guys experience if any of you have ridden these other bikes. I am doubtful on the Busa. I dont think I want to handle a monster like thay day in and day out.
Any experience you guys have on this stuff let me know. Thanks in advance
