Honestly, I hate Harley's because I think they're overpriced and behind on the technology that a Japanese cruiser offers at 1/2 the price and reliability.

With that said, I think your bike looks great, and I do kind of have a soft spot for the Fat Bob.

I had a 93 Suzuki Intruder 800 that rode, drove, and handled better than my buddy's 95 883, and he had to stop twice as often for fuel. He also payed $3000 more than me, so that kind of burnt me on HD's.

I love cruisers, including Harleys, but I'd rather have a VTX or Roadliner.

That's a good looking Nightster, though. I like the flat black exhaust.

Sweet! I love Harleys. They hold their residual value much better than most other bikes, with the possible exception of BMW. Someday, when I have money again, I want the XR1200 in orange of course.
