So.. My vote goes with the Harley Davidson. Not the V-rod either, I'm talking about the traditional styling big bore V-twin low end torque muscle machines. actually, wife and i was talking about it a couple days ago that we were going to the Harley shop, with gas prices the way they are, 45~50 MPG sounds pretty good, and exciting! I guess you could get the same milage with a Prius but gimme a break! That has got to be one of the most boring looking and performance cars on the road, not to mention fugly.. :)

Anyone got an opinion on the S&S engine which can replace the HD and does not leak oil apparently?

But I think the S&S engine is a good one.

I'm back on this since someone kicked it to the top again-- I think that the confusion here between the 'put-put'put' condescending remarks about the Harley translated is the difference between a street rod and a Mercedes. Where 'YES' the Mercedes or Goldwing is a much better long haul cruiser and possibly even better handling and durable the Goldwing or other 'highly engineered' japanese machines just do not have that early feel of 'American motorcycle' sport feel and sound. If I were to travel from coast to coast, I certainly wouldn't want to do it on a Harley (of old) I would rather do it on a highway cruiser like the Goldwang (pun)This is a given, however, if i want to feel the power and rumble and low end torque, I want to feel that V-twin I can only do this with a harley.
Amazing that even the Japanese makers have all 'tried' to mimic the Harley with certain models in their lineup, looks and V-twin, some have come close but still, Harley is synonymous with USA and obviously finds itself with older generation Americans that want to keep a bit of the past.. This is also why I own a Corvette that rumbles, shakes and terribly uncomfortable on a trip - Still I love it and I especially love passing Priuses in second gear revving 6k RPM.. It's a different thing all together. If I could, I would have both the Goldwing and a Harley.. They both have their strong points for a person as myself that looks at both sides.
