The best part of owning a motorcycle is the fact that it puts us all in the special groups class. I don't care what you ride, as long as it has 2 wheels, a handlebar, and a motor. I Just love motorcycles....PERIOD!

You’re absolutely right. We definitely know we’re getting ripped off, but let’s face it, most other companies are boring and don’t carry the cool culture that goes with a Harley.

Me dressing like a cholo on an Indian wouldn’t look as cool lol
You're absolutely right. As a white guy who has been riding most of his life, I can verify that even at the dealerships, where their goals was presumably to sell as many bikes as possible, typically, if a black guy walked into a dealership, they'd completely ignore them. That started at the very top of the food chain. The Motor Company wanted to be seen as the exclusive domain of the wealthy and respectable. They didn't see black people as fitting into that model. I think their near collapse, the end of the AMF period, and the release of the Evo motor changed that philosophy. It's great to see you riding and loving it! Keep the rubber side down, brother.

When I started riding 2 years ago I wanted an Indian motorcycle because I thought the same, Harley was for older white people but seeing KZread and the amount of people of colors that ride inspired me to look more into Harley and boy what a beautiful community and how nice they are no matter your race.

I recently boughy my first HD it was a 2019 Heritage Softail with a 114 motor. I am in love with my bike. I came from the metric world as well. EVERYTHING Sensei said in this video is absolutely correct. Metrics are superior in reliabilty but the HD has a quality that is unique to just HD.

Customization & the sound got me to buy a Sportster. The need for a bigger bike got me to get a Road King. A woman turning in front of me & totaling my RK got me to buy an Ultra Limited. I like other bikes but NONe of them were as easily customizable as my Harleys. They make it so easy to customize them, you can't go wrong.

IDK how this video came to me but we’re the same. I’ve also been looking at indian’s too. This is crazy, we definitely see eye to eye on most of those things you spoke about.

😮 I just got rid of my 2015 raider bullet cowl edition to get the 24 roadglide. Everyone loved my raider. But my trip from pa to fl in march for bike week made me realize I needed a touring bike
Wow what an amazing video. You knock it out of the park. Everything you said is absolutely true even the yo mama part. Harley will not let you down but you can’t abuse them. To go along with your point, one of my bikes is a 2007 Yamaha Fjr 1300 and I trust that bike more than my 2019 ultra limited.

2852 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE NEW CHINESE BIKES THAT IS COMING ON THE MARKET 🤔❓
HD are not the best mechanically but they have to most support and aftermarket resources. In case someone is asking- yes I own a HD
11:03 - THIS RIGHT HERE - Is what makes HD the BEST. It arguably ain't the bikes - they're not perfect. But the biker culture is a direct result of the Harley-Davidson and original Indian motorcycles. You know how today's music - ALL genres - can be attributed to and traced from the music of the past. The same can be said for sport bikes, Goldwings, and metric bikes. The popularity and market for these bikes can be traced back to and attributed to the history established by Harley-Davidson and the ORIGINAL Indian motorcycles. THIS is a fantastic video Sensei!!!! Keep it rubber side down and ride safe!!!

Sensei love the Mavado💥💥💥💥. I don't yet have a Harley. I say yet as I'm still not drawn to those bikes. I do have a Yamaha Raider and just love that bike. I'm not much into customization as I don't wrench much and I mostly want to ride. I also have the problem with the value Harleys offer in comparison with the metric counter parts. A Honda Goldwing as a touring bike is just awesome value. But I do love all bikes. My first was a Honda CBR 600RR
