I hear ya. But have you ever even sat on a goldwing? Way different. Not as different as say my Ultra compared to say Trips Beemer. But different.

My BIL wants a touring bike on his next one. big and comfy. He said my floor boards aren't forward enough. He kept saying goldwing here he comes. He sat on one... NOPE. Worse with no chance of modification where as the HD you can move em forward a bit.

And yes the Vroads are really sweet. But true... not really intergrated well into the rest of the lineup. Kinda sits out there as something different. But I love em! but I admit, I'm not the normal hd owner.

You're probably right. My main problem is I'm VERY brand loyal! I rode Harleys until they completely pissed me off and then Yamahas until I got two lemons in a row and now I'm on my 7th Suzuki and (knock on wood) I've had absolutely zero mechanical problems and that's the truth! I know people want to throw up a bunch of negativity about frames or whatever but I've never had that problem and I've never personally known anyone who had a frame "fall apart" as the rumor has it. Shit, I'm on three GSXR type forums and I've never even seen a first hand report of a frame problem.

Could be! All my cars/trucks have been GM and all my bikes, including ATVs and Dirt have been Suzuki for the last decade or so. I would have been going on 25 years or so with Yamaha but they fucked up!!!!

Really... GM... I didn't see you as a GM guy.

Yep, every car that I've ever owned minus 5 (Alfa Romero, RX7, Mustang, Dodge Daytona (pos), crappy Porsche 924) have been GM, mostly Chevy trucks and Pontiac cars.

I'm sure you have noticed a significant improvement over the years on your GM cars.
