Yeah Harleys are pretty much as you described, slow, terrible brakes, massive vibrations, especially on the older ones which would pretty much shake themselves apart. I love how they look though, and to me a late 60s Shovelhead is about the best sound a motor can make.
Mine’s a 1900cc but weighs almost 350kg so it’s about the closest you can get to driving a boat on land. So cofmrotable though and I just really like how they look. Loads of torque (126 lb/ft at 3500rpm) so there’s fun to be had up to about 60mph, as long as you don’t need to turn or stop quickly…
Really like those Z900s. Big fan of the 80s inspired XSR900 that Yamaha released a couple years ago too.
