Re: Read the article--it has nothing to do with payola...
While it is true that the Harley is the most customizable bike going, I for one think a budget comparison should be just that, a sample of bikes for people on a tight budget! When I hear people talk about the how no bike out there holds its value like a Harley, I point out my '85 Honda V65 Magna. The average sale price on this bike is higher than what I payed for it new! Not too bad for a 15 year old bike! Of course that would be because NOBODY makes anything even similar to that style any more, which means I will never sell this thing. And as far as maintainence goes, I couldnt asked for anything better. 45,000 miles and not a single problem! Try that with your H-D or Ducati!
