Sure there are plenty that side bikes other than harleys for the looks but I've never met anyone that rides a harley for the peformance. For me, ducatis are damn stylish but fundamnetally they have kickass peformance and excellent engineering.
I hear what you're saying, jag, but to some people, fun is tooling along back roads at 30mph enjoying the wind in their hair, and looking at the scenery. It was always my favorite thing to do when I had my bike. I am uncomfortable on a crotch rocket. Too much leaning forward. I prefer the reclined seating position, and i just LOVE the sound the hog makes wehn you goose the throttle at low rpm....in a tunnel BLAAAT!
