Cox9000, one thing you have to keep in mind when comparing new bikes is what the bike is really worth the day you bring it home.
Keep in mind that if you keep oil in it, and rinse down the mud every now and then, you are basically putting your monthly payments in a savings account. For all intents and purposes you get to ride the bike for nothing. No other Manufacturer even comes close. Take a look at the motorcycle ads in the classified, alot of the HD's are being sold for more than they cost new. Now look at the rockets, and jap cruisers, they depreciate faster than a cage. This isn't all just hype, fact is a well taken care of HD will last you a life time, I don't think you can say the same thing for any other bike.
Or if you get old like me, can just trade it in for a new HDTV and a Lazy-Boy recliner.
