Debatable. My big gal hacks up cows for a living.

80% of the harley's ever made are still on the road,, the other 20% made it home

You may just be the lucky winner of a turd. I have had a '71 XLCH, '04 Softail, '08 CVO Springer and now a '12 Street Glide with zero problems from any of them. Well.....the '71 gave me some headaches, but I did build it from a salvaged frame myself, so they were likely self-induced.

Oh, and your video had me cracking up!

Safety wire that sucker.

What is falling apart? What kind of problems?

And is stuffs falling off it wasn't meant to be there to begin with.

I have an 89 sportster i bought brand new. It fell apart too. Lost second gear with 6K miles (after 1 year warranty) at 15K miles it burned as much oil as gas almost and every switch had crumbled to dust.

I have a Yamaha and a Kawi now. Both high mileage and neither with any pros so far.

But dang it, the sound of a harley and the looks. I just wish they would make a good bike that handled and could beat a toyota camry in a drag race.

I’ve had a motorcycle since I was 2 yrs old. The ONLY one that never had a SINGLE issue was my 2008 GSXR 1000. Put a little over 40,000 trouble free miles on that bike. Worst ever was my Indian. Never owned a Herpy Davidson.

The handlebar issue I have head of and is a minor adjustment....mine is a 2014 FLSTC I bought
it used used in 2017 and have put almost 10k on it with no issues.
I have friends that ride HD and put way more miles on than I do with no issues. Luck of the draw I suppose

the exhaust rattles everything to pieces

Important for a woman to have upper arm strength. Weiner-curlathon endurance.

My BIL owns two so he always has one to ride because one is always broken down. I never owned a motorcycle just so I could work on it. I wanted it to start every time I turned the key.

My last 3 Harleys were an '01 Softtail Springer, '05 Road Glide, and a '10 Road Glide Ultra. Combined I put close to 120k miles between the 3 of them without an issue.
