I have a hard time believing a modern bike would have problems.
The Honda nutswinger places are always talking about "my buddies Harley death wobbles....hasta fix it every ride....all the *****es look at my bike and not my buddies Harley".
I'm not brand loyal...I like what I like. If Daewoo came out with a cool car I could afford, I'd buy it. I occasionally ride in bike groups and the only thing I hear is "THATS A HONDA?!" Then it's a 50/50 reaction of "Oh....thought it was a real bike" and "Damn, that's pretty cool! Wouldn'ta thought that!"

My sportster never gave me any problems but it was a 2015. The motor design though was the same 80's evo just with fuel injection. The new Milwaukee 8 seems to be a good platform. It is a little more modern than most die hard Harley snobs probably like. It has 4 valves per head, oil cooled heads, single cam shaft, counterbalancing, etc. Mine dynoed at 88HP 112ft lb to the rear wheel.tonybolton said:So forgive my ignorance....but are Harleys(I'm talking MODERN Harley's, not 1970s' ****), really as unreliable as the Honda / Metric nut swingers make them out to be?

Harley's are very reliable nowadays, old bikes rattled apart, my first bike was a Honda shadow saber 1100. I thought it was a nice bike till I rode a Harley, Harley handled much better and more comfortable to ride, got rid of the Honda and bought a 2006 street glide.tonybolton said:So forgive my ignorance....but are Harleys(I'm talking MODERN Harley's, not 1970s' ****), really as unreliable as the Honda / Metric nut swingers make them out to be?

What have you had to do to your Nomad? I have an 06 Nomad about to hit 21k miles. Bought it with 13k miles 2 years ago from original owner. Have not turned a screw on it.Hope Springs Hauler said:In large groups, many Harley guys are snobs. One on one, they will admit that they like some other bikes. I do not find mid-90's up Harley's to be unreliable any more than another neglected bike. I have had both a 99 Buell and a 99 Ultra Classic. I have worked on each as much as I have my 96 Yamaha Virago and 05 Kawasaki Nomad
Have we discussed Warriors before? Not sure if I knew you had one. I've had two, they are fun as **** but I sure did take a liking to the creature comforts of a bagger when I bought my Nomad. My Warriors were both 02 models, the first year, with the ****ty ass seat. God, worst ****ing seat I've ever sat on. Ass numb as **** within an hour of riding. Bought a $400 Mustang seat, looked gay as ****, and wasn't much better in terms of comfort. Now my buddy's 07 Warrior Midnight, much more comfortable and tranny seems to shift smoother. Both ones I had seemed to shift clunky as ****. His 07 seems to be geared better than my old ones too. Those bikes really should come with a 6th gear. I would go with a Raider or even a Stryker before I would go with a Warrior again. But I'm gonna stick with old man touring baggers lol.creepycrawly said:You've got a Fury, right?
When I showed up to buy my fury, the dude's dad had a Rocker C sitting in the garage next to it. I immediately started drooling and complimenting it. It's one of the only Harleys I've ever looked at and wanted to own based on looks.
They both immediately started talking about how unreliable it is and how he should have bought a Fury too. Blew my mind. I can't speak for the rest of them and can't speak from experience at all. I am not a brand whore by any means. I bought my Fury because it looks good and was 1/4 what a Rocker would have cost me. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought another road star Warrior.
Damn, that's pretty solid numbers for a stock vtwin! Any basic performance add ons? Exhaust, filter, fuel controller, etc?tnford88 said:My sportster never gave me any problems but it was a 2015.
