I try hard not to be a brand snob, because I've had brand snobbery flung at me (a Sportster owner) from metric owners... because I used to BE a metric owner... and because I really believe it doesn't matter what brand you ride as long as you ride safe. But those who resent the term "wannabe" should remember: there is a REASON all these metric cruisers look the way they look, and that reason is Harley Davidson. LOVE the Sportsters... Long live the peanut tank!
I’ve got a baseball cap someone gave me about thirty years ago that says; “I Ride Harleys Blonds Brunettes & Redheads”. So if it meant not walking or taking the truck, I’d ride either one. Hell, I’ll ride anything that gets me there.
Hands down, no contest. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
ReplyDeleteDitto what Mrs RC said.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet it don't sound like a Harley! :)

ReplyDeleteCould be twins. Regardless, both nice looking bikes.
ReplyDeleteWow...they really look a lot alike. I went on the Honda website to see the price and they are actually about a grand more then an 883.
ReplyDeletewell, I always thought thats what a Shadow was aimed at anyhow...thus the name :)
