... but has anyone else started out on Harleys and switched to sportbikes?

If you did what were you reasons?

I'd never ever consider a Harley. They lack every good quality that I look for in a motorcycle.

My cousin finally decided to purchase a motorcycle, but much to my surprise, he purchased a new 833 Harley. He offered me the opportunity to ride it and I could hardly believe how very little power it produced even at WOT! What a total piece of shit! I tried riding with him several times, but he rides in typical Harley fashion, too damn freakin S-L-O-W and almost always at least 10 to 15 MPH under the posted speed limits, which drives me crazy, so I don't bother riding with the fool these days. He's always got a long line of cars collected behind him and I can tell by some of their mannerisms that some of them are pissed off! He's going to get his slow ass run over one day and I've tried to warn him of this many times, but it just doesn't sink in!

P.S. Many seasons after his 833 Harley purchase, he told me that he'd like to purchase a bigger Harley with "more power". I thought to myself, "Why? He doesn't even use most of the power of his puny 833! What would be the benefit of getting a more powerful ride?" Duh!

It will be interesting to see what they do with MV AUGUSTA (Italian Manufactured Company) that HD just took over, cant go over very well with the hard core harley guys who commit to USA Made?

I would bet the average Harley owner knows nothing of the purchase of MV. Harley has said they are going to keep the two marques separate.

Why act ignorant and show it here on the forum? I've went from a Honda 600 F4I to a Harley 1200N (Nightser) which is paid off and I still own to a 2008 Busa. Until you've ridden and own one, please keep your comments to yourself.
