True...of course, I could point out that I could wheelie my '88 V-Max at least that well... In fact, I believe that they did a comparo when the V-Rod first came out and the V-Max kicked it's ass!! Again, that being said, if I were to buy a Harley, this would be the one for sure!!!

I found out my guaranteed for life belt, isn't..

It just has no service interval, ie replace when it breaks, at about 200 bucks.

That is why I'm upset with buell..

Yeah I know what you mean but mine would be in addition to my R1 so I'd still get the VRod and probably a fat rear tire kit as well. The wife...in addition to her R6 wants the Victory Kingpin 8-Ball.

I haven't seen the XR with the Termi's so I'll have to check that out.

Same here, if I were to ever own a harley or any cruiser, it would be in addition the the sportbikes already in the garage.
