I'm looking to get my first bike, and I need suggestions. I thinking either a Vulcan 900 Custom or a V-Star Custom.

 

[YankeeVol]

Harley or Victory

 

[Aavoxx]

Harley or Victory

I see no compelling reason to buy either of those bikes.

 

[Thrasher865]

Harley or Victory

Horrible advice.

 

[govols/cc]

Horrible advice.

Based on what?

 

[Thrasher865]

I'm not even gonna start with you, cc.

Harleys are ridiculously overpriced noise factories. Harley owners are the worst kind of people. Nobody rides a Harley for the enjoyment. They ride to be seen on their Harley. And once you're inducted into the Harley Brotherhood, you aren't allowed to leave the house without wearing a minimum of 3 articles of clothing being Harley Davidson.

You pay 130% what the bike is worth to have the name attached to it.

If you want to buy American, Victory should come waaaaaaaay before Harley.

Partly true on some aspects but you can find reasonably priced Harley's. I know plenty of people with Harley's that don't get caught up in all the bs. Then I know done that do. It's up to the person not the bike you own.

Why?

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Harley sucks for getting rid of Buell Motorcycles.

Have Thrasher's cousin help you go motorcycle shopping. He knows what to look for and is a great negotiator on price.

ZX-10R. Good starter bike.

Have you ridden much? Those are both big bikes for a first bike.

Yep. Can't go wrong with that or any liter bike.

 

[Aavoxx]

Why?

Why not?

The Vulcan, maybe. The V-Star isn't.

You must not "know" many Harley riders

Trying to get him killed?


Way to much bike for a beginner. Hell any of the new 600cc sport bikes are too much. They will throttle up a wheelie. No clutch needed. I will say though. The sport bikes are much safer bikes.



Flame away.

How so?

I understand that they may brake better and handle better, but I think that would encourage even the most disciplined rider to ride in a more enthusiastic and dangerous fashion.

He's still angry I called him an amateur the other day.

This may end up being one of the best Pub threads ever.

They are brighter!

I'd rather have a 500 pound bike on me than a 1200 pound bike on me. The simple fact that if you can't make a corner on a big bike your screwed. Sport bike. Lean harder and give it fuel. It will make it. They do brake better and handle better. But like anything else " personal responsibility" when riding.

Nice generalization. I am 0% of your statement. The only HD gear I have are 3 tshirts. One from here, my hometown, and a tie dyed one I got in Honolulu.

I would have probably stated "Some Harley owners are the worst type of people." But you could say that about any type of group.
