Harley Davidson was, at one time, going to sue Japan because all the bikes look and sound like Harleys now. True.
 Nice bike.

Yeah from what I understand my bike sounds like a Harley to me but the guy behind me can’t hear it... LoL I guess that has to do with baffles or something??? To me I believe this is a better bike than a Harley, don’t get me wrong Harleys are great bikes and all but as far as vibration and ride comfort and reliability I don’t think you can go wrong with what are made in Japan... they sure can make cars that run forever

If you get the urge go buy some high performance pipes and rejet the carbs and you will have that better than Harley sound.

dear god....
First nothing sounds like a Harley, its in the motor, not the pipes...
With that being said, I did in fact have less starting problems with my Vulcan than I have with my Softtail... Of course you will have to let me know when the Boulevard club comes ringing to do some sort of benefit ride... Oh wait, for the most part only HOG clubs do that... I am busting y'alls nuggets and giving out hard times... Congrats on the bike, doesn't matter what the bike is (yes even sport bikes) as long as you ride, that is all that matters (no matter what anybody tells you)... A windshield and some good size saddlebags and that bike would fit every need that anybody could come up with.. If you are looking to do benefit or organized rides, check your local HD Dealership, their HOG club should post a calendar and what you would look for are open rides (such as the Teddy Bear Run that we are doing here in Cleveland, OH this weekend to benefit the Cleveland Clinic, thousands of bikes gathering at the IX Center and riding downtown). Ride Safe, keep the hairy side up and the shiny side down... T |

Congrats on the bike.
I did give in to Harley Mania about three weeks ago, but I fell in love with the Suzuki I borrowed to take the test. I would not trade my softail for the world, but I would not hesitate to own the other brands. As far as the sound goes  maybe your all deaf . Keep trying to copy the sound, many are close. I say why not just buy a Harley and save all the money you would have spent on engine and exhaust work to sound like one  Nice bike though Don't forget your helmet (the only reason Im alive to post this) |
