And as bland, soul less and antiseptic as a bike can be. Trust me I owned one and I'd take the Harley.

Good spot, but he also said:

 

 They may be old tech, but the quality of finish on my friends 10 year old Sportster is way ahead of any Japanese bike I've owned.

 

 

Hhhhmmm...

Sure looks waaaaayyyyyyyy better than any other Harley I can think of, V-rods included (overstyled chrome phalluses...and that's just the riders).

you should put it up against a Yam MT-01 and a Ducati GT1000: a 'sexy naked twins test'.

;)

Now then...  A Griso vs MT-01 vs CB1300 vs harley.  Now that would be a test I'd be interested in reading!

It'd almost certainly be the Guzzi for me but the Harley does look good.  Best looking bike they've done since the Nightster me thinks.

Apparently MCS and Leisure are doing a test next month.  I am not sure whether its a full test or just a first ride.
