Harley Davidson has a long heritige of racing. Keep in mind that flat track is racing too. I own both Suzuki GSXR and a Harley Fatbob. I work for a Kawasaki dealer and have a buddy that owns a Honda dealer. What Harley Davidson has done that the other brands havent is to continue the motorcycle experiance after the sale. Clothing lines events ect. It is a culture and Harley Davidson seems to be the only company that gets that. Kawasaki and Honda factories not even racing in a series that was put together for their machines. Yamaha not racing in Canada? I love to ride my GSXR, but would ride my Harley any time I am givin a choice. It just makes me smile.

A Harley at the racetrack? That's about as ironic as a Ski-Doo at the Baja 1000!

never said i didn't like HDs. what i don't like is people like you who treat it like a religion and have no tolerance for anybodies elses ride. you are what gives HD riders a bad name.
milwaukee mike -GB your an idiot  February 12, 2010 07:08 AM
OK, you don't like Harleys. You probably won't go to Bike Week.
Would you rather have suzuki welcoming riders at the park on Beach street? Heck, suzuki isn't even importing any 2010 models due to a large inventory of unsold units. Check with your local dealer if you need proof.
GB -yeah right  February 11, 2010 06:12 PM
check the sales numbers brother. besides i like pulling old MM's chain.
yea right -couldnt be more wrong  February 11, 2010 01:49 PM
A dying brand for over 100 years? I dont think so brother.

GB -better do something  February 11, 2010 12:46 PM
cuz HD is a dying brand. people want performance not old crap with new paint. finest on the planet?? hell they ain't even the best bike made in America!!!

With HD welcoming riders at the riverfront park, it should help to entice more non-harley riders to take a good long look at the finest M/Cs on the Planet. It's good PR for them and it just might get some metric riders to take a demo ride at the speedway, and thus bringing more riders into the flock.
Good going HD!
