You know what, you are absolutely right. It started 2.5 years ago when I rode my first Buell. I didn't give two shits about them before that. I feel in love with that engine. When I bought my Buell in May....I started doing some more intense research. Harley's aren't the piece of shits they used to be. They are good bikes. Brembo brakes, Showa suspenders, slipper clutches, ABS...the list goes on.
And you're right...the bashers are people who have never rode one.

It felt great. I like forward controls. If I buy a cruiser it's gonna have forward controls. The seat felt great. Granted I was only on it for 10 miles...but it was very comfortable for the time I spent on there.

I like pushrod engines. Obviously. My Buell is a pushrod twin. It's a phenomenal motor. If you disagree, you've obviously never put any amount of time on one.
It's not the engine that draws me to the Vrod...it's the look of it. I don't really like the looks of the air cooled pushrod HD's. If they made a pushrod that looked like the Vrod I'd buy that instead. I like the sound of the air coolers.
