Sat, 01 Oct 2011 15:02:33 +0000 http://www.motorcycledaily.com/?p=17598#comment-29007 The problem is that the majority of buyers are more interested in style than in engineering. In fact, most do not even have even the most meager understanding of engineering. Want well-engineered motorcycles with good handling? Then stop letting ignorant people buy motorcycles. If someone can't pass a simple test about motorcycle engineering, then they don't get a motorcycle license (and, hence, won't buy motorcycles). Needless to say, Harley would be especially hurt by such a move. The problem is that the majority of buyers are more interested in style than in engineering.

From the factory? Damaged? Bad bearing? Doesn't sound too likely. It's pretty hard to get the old style double sided swing arms perfectly aligned and even harder to tell before the tire starts to wear. How does a single sided swing arm get out of align?

Have u been living under a rock ? I had the same mentality but OEMs little by little sure have removed it from my head. I think their way is wrong but...what do i now ? I don't have any fancy degrees or wear a white lab coat. LMAO. Have u been living under a rock ? I had the same mentality but OEMs little by little sure have removed it from my head.

All-steel frame, spindly-looking forks, a single brake disc up front and what look to me like pretty meager width rubber. Looks like a smaller capacity bike to me.
