Every motorcycle company feels a need to take on Harley (for some reason) and produce a Harley wannabee.Poor mans Harley perhaps? Certainly won't have the sound.
Yeah, I get that, not sure why they are so coveted, but they are. Maybe because they are American iron. I've never had a desire to throw a leg over one. I have a friend that has one, and I've been offered to ride someone's CVO (I think that's what you call it) He tipped it over at a corner and it cost him $7K to fix it.Every motorcycle company feels a need to take on Harley (for some reason) and produce a Harley wannabee.
Because a lot of riders like the iconic Sportster-look and are easily swayed by the continual anti-H-D bias. They've had the Rebel lineup for decades. All the Japanese manufactures have had various cruiser offering for decades. It's not impossible that Honda might even make a bigger ROI off them than STs. I see this as a logic refinement/evolution of the line.Why would Honda build a sportster wannabe?
+1 I rode my GL1000 with floorboards for years with my thighs and shins forming a 90º angle and it was a really comfortable position. But I didn't have that lean forward which would be really uncomfortable really quickly. With the Helibar riser my feet and hips could be very comfortable with the ST's pegs moved forward 8"-10" or so.Why would Honda build a sportster wannabe?
Harley, more like a Hurly.Poor mans Harley perhaps? Certainly won't have the sound.
Hey Larry,
I have ST Silver Totes on a stainless rack on another wall....thank you very muchHey Larry,
If you want variety how ‘bout throwing in a “blue” tote with a “red” lid once in a while
Is that socket wrench sticking out behind the floorboard the kick starter?
Or the leaksPoor mans Harley perhaps? Certainly won't have the sound.
