But isn't that(being a harley a-hole) what this whole cruiser V-Twin thingy
is all about? Why else have a low output OHV or OHV look-a-like with obvious
HD styling, where it takes a 1700cc Road Star or Vulcan to keep up with my
'82 Maxim 550. Just askin that's all

Please don't top-post; it upsets the rhythm of question-and-answer and
makes it nearly impossible for anyone to figure out what's going on. It may
be convenient to top-post because that's where your newsreader puts the
cursor, but that doesn't mean you have to shit your pants because that's
where your ass is.

But, yes, the Japanese motorcycle makers aren't stupid; they saw that
American buyers wanted OHV V-twins because Harley was selling everything
they could produce and more. By that criterion, every Japanese OHV V-twin
owner is a wanna-be. And why not? Nothing sells like success.

It comes down to value, then: is a Japanese V-twin a better bike than a
Harley-Davidson for the same or lower price? Forget your Maxim; it's not in
the same market. It's like comparing the Mitsubishi Eclipse to the Ford
Explorer or a lawnmower to a Ski-Doo; it ain't the same.

Me, I ride a 1970 Yamaha XS1, the premier example of a 360-degree vertical
twin. Nothing before or since has ever topped it, not Harley, for sure. And
not Triumph, BSA, Honda or any of their wannabes.

Talk about hubris, huh?

All the best,
doc



If it looks the same, sounds the same, feels the same, smells the same, and
tastes the same, then why pay more?
