You're jumping topics. I don't care what you buy. I do feel obligated to give good advice to somone asking how they should spend four to fifteen thousand dollars.
Those people feel a need to ask. That means they're uncertain, or don't know anything about anything and want real world advice.

If you wanna spend your $20k on a HD or BMW or anything else I wouldn't I really don't care. If you want an opinion I'll give you mine but what you do with your money has no effect on me. Actually it's better if you buy junk I don't want because the junk I want will become a little cheaper.

The problem is, your opinions aren't solicited and you feel that just because something's more expensive than what you (apparently an economist) think is reasonable, it becomes elitist and a "fanboy" toy. :rolleyes

Do you even own a motorcycle?

I ride $9,000 bicycles. Does that seem reasonable to you?
I'm pretty convinced that I don't even own a motorcycle and live with my parents.
haha belive me I'm no economist.

Then how exactly do you have the room to be telling BMW riders that their bikes are overpriced junk?
 
brah wut?

They break expensive shit. I wasn't too impressed with anything they did except for going fast on the freeway. I found many other bikes that were an over all better value. I still don't care if you personally buy one or appriciate it more than I do.
 
Because you keep asking me odd questions. I thought it would be rude to not answer you, no matter how strange your logic is, because you took the time to adress me. It's how civilized people communicate.
 
Jesus guys, go get a hotel room if you want to stroke your egos in front of each other.
 
What ego? I'm just saying he's acting no different than those people that try to convince Harley owners that they're stupid for buying one.
 
Iz hope'in they investigate them lame ass whizzy brakes too; thatz sum real dangerous shit right thar. (Prolly why theyz gone)
 
:bs :bs :bs

T'ain't "poorly informed" I dun be speak'in from 1st hand experience!

1.) The whizzy brakez iz hard ta properly modulate on a good day. :thumbdown
2.) If'n a little bug juice getz in the front brake light micro switch, it can leave the brake lights on, which in turn'll shut the whizz off, leave'in you with sucky residual braking, which can cause death & injury. :thumbdown
3.) when yer rear wheel lifts off the ground under hard braking, the whizz (and all brakes) shut off, leave'in you brakeless & free wheel'in in to the oncoming lane, which can cause death 'n injury. :thumbdown

Bottom line; itz a bunch of lame, overly lethal, complicated (Rube Goldberg) shit that quietly went away fer good reason. Power brakes on a bike, how f'n stupid is that? :wtf
Enjoy yer

Similar thing happened on my K12R, where a buildup of brakepad residue got into the switch, and resulted in zero braking ability. Not a happy time.
