[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1249107, member: 29492"] Can't give you pros and cons because I've never owned a Harley. Never will, but that's because I have character traits that won't ever allow me to own a Harley. On the other hand, I owned a mid-size V-twin cruiser (Yamaha Vstar 950) for a few years. It's hard to beat them on the open highway in terms of pure comfort: riding position, low center of gravity, stability, Yamaha reliability, and just plain old open-air joy. Get them off the open highway and they're not so much fun: traffic, tight turns in the city, twisty roads in the mountains, and God Almighty they shake when you're stopped at intersections. The Vstar wasn't too bad, but both the Victorys and Harleys I test rode were like paint shakers. I thought shit might get flung off the bike. The FJR is a handful in parking lots and other slow-speed manuvering, but above 10 mph in [U]any[/U] environment, she's an Olympic track star. [/QUOTE]
