oh man, get over it. a bike's a bike. you either like it or you don't who cares about being in on the whole Harley image. I'd take one of those bikes in a heart beat. they've way better styling than harleys imo. I don't even care for harley's, to freakin' loud & expensive..

eh.. true, if you like it you like it but why do you like it... honda is known for torquless high-reving engines. in a pick up truck you want alot of torque so they really wouldnt make good pick up trucks. some companies are known for things, and they are known for things for a reason. or imagine honda making a muscle car.. muscle cars are known as loud american classics, i really cant imagine honda making a muscle car. n asian manufactures arent known to make those bikes. its more of an american thing. and those bikes do not even look that nice its too covered up. on a bike, i want to see all the pipes, the motor, whatever else goes into a bike. i dont want to just see a big sheet of metal thats shaped nicely

Honda's been making Bikes a lot longer than they have cars, so I think they know what they're doing. i agree with you though "to each his own", IMO bikes like these seem more like a custom thing than an american thing, I don't know of any company going out actually attempting production of bikes like these?.. so i support them.

honda might have been making street bikes but i doubt they have been making these kind of bikes. and ya i guess these are more of a custom thing then american thing but still.. i dont really want to see 100s of the same bikes at a bike club. i guess IMO bikes should stay custom. i just cant see someone trying to modify a massed produced bike. but then ya i kinda see your point, maybe its cause i'm so used to seeing custom bikes. maybe if they were mass produced like cars there would be more parts and such. i doubt it would ever happen tho. yes its nice to see more bike makers but i know i wouldnt ever buy a bike from honda. its like buying an economy/reliable car from harley davidson. i just cant and wont put them together.
