i never owned a harley, but i did grow up around a bike shop as i use to race, it allways seemed the bikes that broke the most, and also the most expensive to fix were harleys, not saying there not good bikes, best bet is to talk to some owners and ask if they had any problems, not the sales man
im happy with my harley , zero trouble.
there was a time back in the 70s or 80s that harley was sold to amf cooperation and they screwed up harley BAD. those bikes were a LOT of trouble. and probablly the ones you remember.
Look at my username... That is where it is at my friend. Lol
Got to love those GSXR's!
My opinion is that you need to go with a Harley...especially if your considering a Victory bike. Re-sale value alone is why I went down that road. I could sell it right now for what I have left on the loan...can anyone else say that?
I started riding about 11 years ago. All my bikes have been sport bikes. I'm not sure how you are, but as for myself, I have never been able to hold onto a bike for more than a couple seasons before getting bored and wanting something different. I would suggest maybe starting in the used arena and figuring out what you like. I'm not sure if you've ever ridden a Hammer(I haven't), but sometimes the bikes that look the best aren't really what you're looking for in a bike in other aspects. Like I said, I go through them quick. I'm on bike number 6. The Busa's been around for about 3 years now and I am still in love with it. It just took a while to figure out exactly what I wanted. Either way, good luck bro and ride safe. Also, the winter is the best time to buy used. Or if you're buying new, Feb is a good time to buy since there are a lot of N.O.S bikes laying around.
Good point, I am on bike # 4 my self and it just seems like I wanted bigger each time. But I understand that Victory is one of those Dealers that lets you test drive or you could always rent a bike takea few hours and do the kind of riding your going to be doing. This will help but with time you gain more confidence on your bike and you either love it or you want to trade up.
