Harley softtail. Big, loud, heavy, and slow. It really is like riding on a parade float. I don't think anyone actually likes riding them - they just like being seen riding them.

YES! Def. the buellblast or their "lightining", these things are pieces of sh*t.....never run and when they do, its alot of noise and little movement

I agree, the Buell blast is the worst bike you could ever atempt to ride. And in addition to my 06' 1KRR I own a 1978 H-D FL (actually AMF owned to company in 78) Rigid frame chopper with about 2" ground clearance that will corner better, faster, and more comfy like.

When I was buying my wife a bike, my buddy that works at a HD dealership talked me into test riding a used Sportster. I didn't want to get her anything to powerful for her first bike, so I thought what the heck. My feet and hands were numb/tingling after 15 mins on that thnig and the handling was awful.

I immediately went to the Honda dealership and got her a Shadow.

100th Anniversary H-D heritage with all the screamin eagle crap and 30k in "upgrades". Shook so bad at idle it about threw me off. Had squeaks, pings and all sorts of noise from the body(when you could hear it over the loudest pipesI have ever heard). My ears hurt like 2 minutes afterI started it. Accelerated like a honda accord 4 cylinder and still shook till about 4 grand on the tach when it would finally smooth out, but then would redline at only 6k, 6k! My bike starts coming alive at 6k and this onestarts falling on its face. Its was huge, weighed as much as a new goldwing, but had no balance and would pull towards the right when just sitting. Actually driving in a straight line it was ok, but cornering I've seen M1A1 abrams corner better. All show, no go.
Customers of mine, heloved it so much, saved for 15 years to get it.
So I asked him to go for a canyon drive with me on my bike . He bought a cbr1000rr 2 days later. After he tried to wheeley his harley and had me drag race him 5-6 times. He then rode mine and came back with "Thats the Biggest Boner I've got on any bike since I started riding." Crazy guy, funny as hell. Still owns the harley for driving long distances with his kids and the image. But when his friends are gone or he wants to go fast, there he is on his cbr with chaps and a hd jacket and all. Funny as hell.

I'd have to say my old Suzuki GS500. No power and it had a crappy banana seat.
