Harley Davidson is best.  LIke all the bros on this thread have stated, you get what you pay for and when you buy a hawg you get a solid, well built, quality ride.  They keep their resale value (not that I want to sell...) my deluxe handles like a frickin dream.  Fat, low, well balanced just a joy to ride.  
The only bitch I have is I want to keep my harley, harley.  So when I add HD clip on windshield, clip on backrest, clip on saddle bags those parts are 'spensive...   But they fit like a glove.  I want to change my deluxe's stock handlebars to baby apes and change the cables to steelbraid.  Up here in the great white north its about 700 - 800 bucks but the aftermarket shops aren't much cheaper.  And the bars aren't HD nor are the steelbraids (so much for keepin my harley harley I know) ......  But hey after you've bought yer two four and the groceries, what else you gonna spend your hard earned bucks on.
