So My Girl Got Me A Gift Certificate To Ride A Harley(i Have Some Older Friends That Ride Them) And I'm Not Sure Which One To Rent..? I Like The V-rod But I Was Seeing If Anyone Knew Which Is The Most Fun Out Of Em All! Thanks

I have had a harley in my garage all of my adult life. While they do not have the fun factor of a sport bike, they indeed have their own place in the biker world. Do not rent the Vrod as it is Harley's version of a sport/tourning bike. I have spent a little time on one and they are fun but nothing to compare with your gsxr. I would suggest you try out a Road King. I think you would enjoy spending the day touring the back country on a rumbling Harley? It's a very unique feeling. If you want to take your girl with you, put her on the back and you'll be impressed with the two up cabability of the heavy torque and you'll never know she is back there. Enjoy the experience, although I'm certain you'll be happy to be back on your gixxer for the next ride :thumbup:

It is a different kind of fun than the sport bike, but fun none the less. I did the harley thing years ago, but always had that need for speed in my blood, so I got the gixxer. Anyway, let us know what you decide, and have fun!!

If buell was an option being they are still harleys. I would try out the lightning xb12 just because i kinda like em, but not enough to buy 1. If it had to be a normal harley i think id try the fatboy.

Me? Personally? I'd pick the one thats makes the least noise. I just can't stand the sound of Harley's. I find it very rude.

Nah, I'd go for a Road King. Classic Harley - that is if I were to get a Harley.

I'll say Road King too. I rode my cousins once and it's like a Cadillac. Not a speed machine or made for the twisties but it's great for long rides and just cruising. He's got some Vance and Hines pipes on his that sound great. He came to the conclusion when looking for exhaust that it would be stupid to have something that makes you want to wear earplugs or even hear idle in your garage.

I would suggest a Superglide Sport, but they quit making them last year. Glad I got mine when I did. :) http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t60/jdkarafa/Bike/DSC00044-1.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t60/jdkarafa/Bike/DSC00043.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t60/jdkarafa/Bike/Pazzo021.jpg

:hmmm: I dunno....I know a lot of people who have HD's, and I'd still go with a V-Rod if I were given the opportunity.

Rode a friend of mine's dresser and although it had a big bore kit in it I was not impressed with the power but I will say for a day out they are ALLOT more compfortable than what we ride. Like I always say I will ride any bike anybody lets me ride just to experiance as many as possible before I get squished. :thumbup:

My favorite and if I had the money would be a Dyna Wide Glide. Very comfortable for sure. Don't get a Sportster or a V-Rod they aren't real Harley's. The Sportster is just junk and the V-Rod is German Engineered not even Harley.
