Since the 1980s when Japanese V-Twins began in earnest to whittle away from Harley-Davidson’s customer base, a lot of discussion has evolved into what is now a perennial debate about who makes a better cruiser.
It’s been a four-against-one prize match, and H-D has more than held its own, but that doesn’t stop the Japanese from making motorcycles more and more like the original…

If you want comfort …
If you want comfort and usability, get a car…that’s not what these cruiser-type bikes are made for…do you want an a/c and satellite radio too? or how about heated seats…dont ride a harley if you want the comforts of a sofa…stay at home.
@3619Country, you …
@3619Country, you should give a KTM a ride…. Pop wheelies today, rebuild shocks tomorrow. Shoot fire from the exhaust on down shift’s today, and replace your voltage regulator tomorrow…. But god damned is it fun…. I imagine a Harley would be the same. Chocked full of character and style that a Jap bike can only try to imitate.
not my style…. …
not my style…. either.
If you buy a bike …
If you buy a bike to look good, get a Harley. If you buy a bike to ride, buy a Honda. Ride your Harley today, repair it tomorrow.
I would rather ride …
I would rather ride a couch than a Harley.

@CrockettRockett88 id buy the honda n put a harley davidson badge on it simple lol
Well let’s see you …
Well let’s see you chose the low which is designed for shorter riders. So yep that makes sense it didn’t have the ground clearance. I dislike comparisons that aren’t apples to apples. Get the 883 standard and riding impressions are completely different. Still slower I am sure but the handling and ride height are more comfortable for a taller rider.
@UltraSWG The only …
@UltraSWG The only complaint they had was that the Harley dragged parts, and that it was too small for the reviewer… Which both make sense since it is the Low model. Lowest seat height of any Harley or other Sportsters, and is designed specifically for small riders. Somewhat of a poor review as they didn’t get into anything else like sound or feel or controls or any of a ton of things that make a bike.
hmmmm very good …
hmmmm very good review….good job

it seems like 50% of the money you spend on a harley, is the badge…..

everyone will buy the harley just because of the name…….. doesn’t matter if the honda is any better people just like the HD title…
@UltraSWG Sheesh, …
@UltraSWG Sheesh, it was only a few feet! Maybe some slight modifications…
Sorry, but what I …
Sorry, but what I got from that was the Shadow is a knock-off of the Harley. Somehow you all think Honda is a better bike because it takes the Harley look but redesigned for a different riding style.
I love and own a Honda but this felt dishonest.
Yeah, basically the …
Yeah, basically the Harley is a piece of and the Honda is an excellent machine which wins this comparo. But since the Harley is a Harley, people will buy it over the Honda because alot of bikers are stupid and Harley knows it.
