I just had this thought coming up - Why would I want to justify anyone if I want to buy a HD or any motorcycle for that matter? As long as I like the motorcycle, able to get a loan or buy with the entire cash down why would I want to justify anyone? I don't get the point

@ ZenashB: Harleys, harley riders have always had this freedom of expression and wanted a beautiful , yet confortable bike in which their legs could just dangle off the bike and cruise for miles and miles exploring the whole of US of A. thus started the trend of the Harley.

The way a Harley is made is mind blowing. grab hold of some documetaries and see for yourself. THey are one of the very powerful cruisers around and yet dont strike many with their looks.

Honestly its bike. and extension of the human on it. A sbk or a Harley , to the person who loves them, its all the same. PUre LOVE!

You don't need to justify when your dream is coming true :-)

Just an example.
Are the Enfield's technologically advanced? Or they still are using the age old designs and tech's?
But then there are uncountable people who love the Bullets the way they are. They know how soon their engines starts looking dirty with all the grim and oil. But then, still they love and enjoy every ride on it and swear by it.
Harleys are somewhat in the same league. Bullets are for India so Harleys are for US.

There are few brands which have their own fan following and no matter what happense, these people will still love the machines being provided to them.

SO at the end, it all boils down to the love and the legend of that perticular machine

@ZeNashB

I hate Harleys and maybe you or somebody else hates Jap Plastic thingys.

But one thing common with both of us is that we have dreamed of owning a big bike since we were kids and had promised ourselves that we will buy one when we are older.

If this was your dream nobody should convince you to do otherwise. People will list models of cars you could buy for that money. Let them yap, they don't understand passion.

If you are passionate about it then no justification is required.

Seeking justification for purchasing a Harley nullifies the reason for owning one.
