    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Revealed! 2014 Harley-Davidson Street 500 & 750

Sure, it only weighs about 500 lbs, but unless that's a massive caliper - why only single-caliper, single disc front brake?

Reading other reviews - this guy must be looking forward to the new Harley they're going to give him for writing the most kiss-a** review I've seen in a long time.

EDIT: Ok. In re-reading that and trying not to barf up my breakfast, this line says it all.
Because only a motorcycle we’re proud to build is a motorcycle you’ll be proud to park on your curb.

The 'review' was written by some Harley hack....

i watched one of the videos. nothing about performance but lot's of scenes of how cool you'd look parking if front of a bar.

from the above article, "Take a close look at any Harley-Davidson? motorcycle you see parked under the neon lights."

I can't speak for this specific model, but if it is as powerful as my Triumph Bonneville's single DBR was, that single DBR would arse spank my GS's dual wooden shoes any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
 
"Tuned to perfection in our state-of-the-art sound-testing facility in Milwaukee"


Lmao only Harley would have one of these
 
My 665lb Fatboy only has a single disc and it stops much better than some I've riden(owned/own) with double discs.
The majority of the lines are steel tubed.
Jes saying..

Not true.

Even as early as 1979, Honda was bragging about tuning their exhaust sound. No doubt they all do it.
 
Yes I agree they all tune the exhaust for function and sound. It just seems HD is trying to say it has a facility solely for sound not saying performance and sound but sound alone.
 
harley has control of most of the money made with anything to do with motorcycle sales.From their 1950 technology motorcycles, to their chinese clothing, to their japanese based new little bikes.I am glad to see something successful in the motorcycle industry, and their bikes are the inspiration for all the cruisers in the world. I have owned 2 harleys. They look good, run good, but unfortunately not long enough before needing repair.Kind of like owning a vintage bike, only theirs are new.

I musta got a defective one then, no repairs with 42k miles.
Just tires, oil changes and fork oil. That's it.

I think it makes a difference if you are the original owner, and if the harley was made after 2007.I was neither of those.My ultra had 80,000 on it when I got rid of it, but almost everything in the engine had been replaced.

You have to keep in mind, Octain's Harley is the exception to every rule. It's faster in a straight line, better through the curves and will stop quicker than any bike ever made. It's never broken and never needed maintenance.

Damn right! I know how to take care of my stuff. That's why I keep things forever.:dancing:

It does require maintenance on occasion. It has indeed been an awesome bike that has never failed me yet.

Everything will break. At 40k plus miles with no BS mod work, this bike's in it for the long haul. I can see it exceeding 100k with no major work.:dancing:
Don't hate cause I got a good one.
