With all the modern v-twins out there, I see no reason to pay $15k for a
Harley cruiser.  The fact is that most "Japanese" cruisers out-power and
out-handle any Harley in the same class (except the new V-Rod).  There
are 1100cc creuisers from Honda that have very similar power to Harley
engines a couple hundred cc larger.

But, then there's the name.  Having a Harley has bragging points.  It
also get's you into "The Club".  If you care about that sort of thing.

A Kawasaki, Suzuki, or Honda will do me just fine until I get the big
bike built - then Karin will inherit it.
