[QUOTE="Kevin_Ireland, post: 933017, member: 23459"] TwoWhldTerror I would still have her test ride one before you buy one. It's not just the lack of power it's the lack of cornering clearance, the ergonomics on most of the bikes etc.. I've own a few Harleys and I cannot conceive of me going back. Every time I see one and start to think about it I only have to be reminded of the maintenance issues. The lack of customer service from the dealerships (yes, more than one. It seems once they have your money they really don't give a shit) and just the small issues I had with the bikes. It's enough to make me stop looking. I still have friends who ride Harleys and even the one who rides the most only puts a fraction of the miles on his bike that I put on the FJR. I have more miles ridden in 6 months last year than he has in the past 3 years together. When the wife started looking I asked her what kind of bike she wanted and she answered "I don't know, but not a cruiser and absolutely no Harley". LOL Even only being around bikes she knew better.
