Harley-Davidson or Honda?
I was seriously thinking about buying a Harley-Davidson XL883C Sportster, but i looked at the Honda website today and saw a slightly less powerful Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (VT750C2) for over $1000 less money.
I love the nostalgia of Harley’s, and i really couldn’t picture anything else, but i am a college student, and i need to save money (not that i can’t afford the Harley)
What i need to know, is it worth saving money to go with the Honda (which looks relatively similar to the Harley) or should i stay true to my first true desire. will i get and extra $1000 dollars worth of enjoyment from a Harley? Basically, which is more “Bike” for the money, and which is more respected and mutually accepted by the motorcycle community? (this is my first bike)
Who cares what is accepted by the community!!! I dont know who you have been talking to but this is a materialistic thing.If you want to “keep up with the jones” than get your harley and be prepared to pay 100 an hour for shop fees.That includes changing the oil.I drive a 1983 Suzuki gs 650 L and get lots of compliments on my bike.It’s 25 years old and paid for and I alos work on it myself.Dont be a fool and fall into the trap of having to be better than somebody else.Having a harley means nothing!!!!
