modular Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) The XRs are pretty involved in racing. can't hate on that... though my 1125cr is bettar.Now, you and I BOTH know those 2 bikes have 2 completely different engines;). The only Buell tech the XR uses is the oil cooled heads and cams, both from air cooled engines. Your 1125 is a Rotax watercooled engine. As a matter of fact, I almost pulled the trigger on a new leftover CR from a dealer in Michigan but was uncomfortable with any warranty or parts issues with local dealers, especially since it would not have been purchased from them.

alienpi Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I would buy an HD as long as it's liquid cooled, can comfortably exceed 140mph, and can go 200 miles between gas stops. I test rode a V-Rod and was impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have a thing for the Ultra Glides. I've almost pulled the trigger twice now. That price tag just kills it for me. Eventually I'll own one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Valley Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 truth..i looked at a 2010 Street Glide with the 103 motor end of last year at A.D. Farrow.. 20k... thats a bit steep In the past year, I have heard from three different guys who bought their HD from Thiel's Wheels in Upper Sandusky. Each said that they had the best pricing and service than any other dealer in Central Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 A.D Farrow had a slightly used 2010 Roadglide last spring with a bunch of options I should of bought,about 900 miles and originally stickered for around 24,000 and they wanted a little more then 18,000 for it. Never could get back there with mine to see what they would give me for it but even if they gave me 10,000 I could not come up with the rest without financing or selling some of my cars.

I was just being a cheeky bastard for great justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modular Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 No offense taken....I am a thick skinned bastard. Those who take the intranet too seriously need to step back and take a breath.They did expand the Vance & Hines Series race schedule by about 5 races for '11 and the European Series races are always popular. But, it seems Kawi. has a trick up their sleeve for giving the XR750's a run for their money on the dirt tracks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modular Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Dude, to me the internet is just one huge entertaining chat room with some educational chit thrown in for good measure:D.

curby Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 i really wanted a Vrod before i got the warrior but didn't want to shell out the change for the muscle. but that's what i wanted. But then got a hellva deal on the Warrior and end of story. The guy that sold me the Warrior ended up buying a Hammer S and brought it over... i rode it and hated it compaired to the Warrior. It felt cheap and plastic. I love certain HD's. If i could get my hands on a Crossroads cheap, i'd have to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kritz Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I ride a Harley as well.....an XR1200....even more of a bastard child. Heck, even Harley riders don't like the bike;).They don't like mine either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Been there and done the Harley thing for years. No offense intended, but I've moved on.And there are a few "metric" touring bikes out there with 113 ci motors that handle really well, are very reliable, have lots of aftermarket options, and can save you lots of money when it comes time to purchase.If you plan to purchase a cruiser or tourer, it is my opinion that you should keep your mind oepn to the best bang for the buck. Test ride them all, and I think some will be surprised.Don't drink the coolaid! Edited January 10, 2011 by Ron505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
