one of the funniest scenes I've witnessed was while i was riding just outside of Vegas behind a sportsbike, at a distance. i saw a group of harley riders approaching us from the opposite direction. the sportsbike guy extended his arm out to say the moto hello to them. Not ONE harley rider waved back. but what was funny was that the sportsbike guy just kind of kept his arm extended even after all the harley riders had long passed, like a "hello darkness my old friend" online meme lol

When I'm riding my Yamaha R7, I wave at every motorcycle I see. Even the scooters get a wave from me. Most Harley riders wave back but 100% of the people that don't wave back are people on Harleys. I also have to deal with the Pagans around here. I just avoid them

Nice!

I had a harley rider come over to my Rebel 1100, and tell me he liked my bike. I said I like yours too. he asked if I knew what the difference was. I asked what. He said if you like fixing bikes, get a Harley. If you just like riding a bike, without it breaking down every 500 miles, get a Honda.

So true. I rode a Honda CBR 600 into the side of a car at 40 mph. Cracked the block pissed out all it’s oil and it was still running.

Harley’s just encourage unsafeness I don’t get it 🤷🏻

I ordered a new MT07 on the 20th of April as my first bike, still waiting for it to arrive at the official Yamaha dealership, they didn't have any in stock. Got my driving license riding with a Kawasaki ER6n 2016 model. Rode a friends MT07 and immediately fell in love with it (ordered it the next day), it's a whole different feeling compared to that Kawasaki, so easy and fun to ride.

That HD Roadster is one of the coolest looking motorcycles I’ve ever seen. I wish they would take that bike and modernize it. I can only imagine what a HD sport bike would look like. The Bronx had so much potential and they killed it…. Ugh.

I was looking at the Bronx hard when they announced it. But Harley always does that. They innovate then pull back and just make their boomer rides as always. 🙄

Get my black ‘24 MT07 Saturday. My last bike was also a sportster. I look forward to Yamahas reliability. Harleys are cool but they’re overpriced in every area. Harley needs to change

Harley’s could be awesome, but the company really holds them back with poor decisions and doubling down on boomer culture.

Hey I went out and bought the MT07 to be matching with you but a month and a half later sadly it is up for sale. It doesn’t have the power im looking for ( maybe I’m spoiled by the panigale 959 and V4 ). It struggles on the freeway after 90-95. It was really fun while it lasted. Also maybe because I didn’t put an exhaust on the MT hmm

You're paying for the name when it comes to Harley. I test drove the new Breakout and I wasn't impressed. I mean its a cool bike and all, but not $23k plus taxes cool. 🤷🏼 My MT10 SP has way more features and I paid a lot less for it.

If you want a classic bike that doesn’t suck just get an Indian. They make way better bikes than HD in a similar favor. Also, in my opinion, the Indians look better but that’s subjective.

Harley doubles down on their aging market. Everytime they innovate they pull back when the slightest bump in the road happens

PARAMOTO. Video was great. I CANNOT stand Harley nor the people who ride them. They think THEY are the s*** which in return makes their gear S***, their riding style S***, their character S***. Bikes are way over priced and they are by far of any brand WAY overpriced. My wifes dad was a harley builder a couple years back for many, many years. He Loves the bikes and can build them from the ground up. I don't hate him for his dumba** decision on bikes. BUT, IMO Harley can suck it along with the guys and gals who are disrespectful to other riders of all kinds unless they ride a Harley. Here in Tex. They don't wear helmets, gloves, or follow proper etiquette of being a rider. By all means am I not saying the same for sportbike riders. But anyone who overpays, drinks and rides, disrespectful to other riders, doesn't wear gear to keep them safe for their families doesn't deserve to ride. WEAR GEAR, RIDE SOBER, BE RESPECTFUL OF ALL TWO WHEEL RIDERS OF ALL TYPES. Rant over. Duces brother.
