Thinking about buying a Harley

He tells me that nothing is wrong with it and he said he really doesn't want to sell but he has a baby on the way so his priorities are changing.. He's my gf's Sister's BF, so if I have problems he knows I'll be able to find him..

From riding a few cruisers they do seem like they have power right off the line then you get a big disappointment waiting for the HP to kick in.. It never really does.. And the 6k or so (no tach on a lot of em) redline means very fast shifts..

The exhaust is stoopid loud.. Straight pipes that basically bounce off the ground.. he says they set off car alarms all the time.. I might put some baffles in..

i have a superglide. i've had the front end up once. been over 100 a couple times. it doesn't accelerate like a sportbike but it aint sitting still either. with exhaust/jet/ and intake it should have a little grunt to it.

having both will be very nice.
