Its easy to make your Harley different, just put tassles on the end of the handle bars.

 
When I got my HD is had leather tassles on the levers,  very chic, and the first thing to go.

i wasnt comparing bikes. just stating why i liked my bike. ive had 20 or so bikes and have ridden a good 50.  i stating that even though  ive had experience with many other bikes. that the RE B5 still had a place in my stable and liked it enough to buy one brand new.

i like all bikes (except choppers you know the kind. the so called art ones)  i dont walk
into a dealer and pic out the prettiest fastest bike. i bought each of my bikes for its special reason. 

my money is hard to come buy and for me to plunk down msrp for a new bike and be happy about it says alot.

better pr then jay l... who was probally given the bike and its pocket change to him. and to make fun when kevin said it had gas shocks shows he dont know everything!

most bikes in its class and price dont have nitrogen piggy back reservoir shocks.
i wander how many miles jay has put on his new RE?

i know everybody has their own taste and i see alot of people havent had a chance to ride as many bikes has i have and are on the fence about getting bigger more powerfull, state of the art,etc,etc bikes.  my RE is a blast to ride and enjoy it very much

I would say it's safe to compare Harley's V-Rod to the V-Max, if Harley ever had a hot rod bike, that's it. Alot of Harley riders shun it, won't even consider it's a Harley because of the style.

Not to mention, it's a Porsche designed engine.
I dont have to worry about those things, though. I can't even sit on one. My legs won't reach the pedals, particularly where there is a box sticking out that pushes my leg clear to the outside of the pegs! But the thing is way to heavy for my liking anyway. I just can't get to loving bikes over 500 pounds. I have owned a few, but none of them will ever make my favorites list.

I had the multi-color ones on my $1000 mountain bike a few years back, just to piss of the guys at the shop where I worked

Oh boy I'm in trouble .. I have a Yamaha 1100 with leather tassels on the brake and clutch levers..Leather Fray with metal studs around  both floorboards...Weird some would say (They came with the bike when I purchased it)...I do get plenty of nice nods about the bike...Too lazy to rip them off or just cut those long black tassels that fly in the wind and sometimes hits me in the face...

I guess it depends on where you hang the tassels!  I started looking for a picture to add but I think I'll just leave it.
