I'm a big fan of Harley Davidson motorcycles and i just can't figure out why people hate them so much. I don't go around hating people who ride yamaha R1 for example. I don't go around hating people who ride Suzuki Intruders, Isn't it a personal choise? If i want to ride a harley because i like the old fashioned style, the big engines which i can fine tune myself, i simply ride a harley and don't give a fu*k about what other people think. If i wanted a R1 i'd simply buy an R1.
@Roobard Why people hate on them so much is because they are about as backwards as it gets. It's hard to hate on people for wanting more then a rattling out of balance Vtwin, that farts its way down the road. Yeah it's a personal choice, but the choice to own one is made for all the wrong reasons. People think that it puts them into a higher class, or makes them bad ass. Whats funny is all the other bikes kick it's ass and yet people are proud to ride one?Yes you DO GIVE A FUCK WHAT PEOPLE THINK
@themaxrider I agree with you about people owning a harley just because they think it makes them bad ass and/or puts them into a higher class. But all people are not like that, also i am well aware of the fact that a harley isn't the fastest bike around, just look at the bikes. You can tell they're not made to go very fast, they're heavy, big, and not very aerodynamic. At the end of the day it just comes down to one thing, people have got different taste, some like speed, some like to cruise.
@Roobard What frustrates so many of us is the fact that harley sold a "lifestyle" rather then improve the bike to make riding all the much better. They have an out of balance single throw crankshaft in order to obtain a certain sound even for Gods sake. Everything you said is true, but the problem with just ignoring this all is that they drag all the other motorcycle companies down the same path. They duplicate what harley makes to get market share. It's time for a change, time to get with it!
@themaxrider Yeah, i get your point, harley doesn't sell up to date motorcycles. But i think some of the charm with harley is just that, they haven't changed their motors, styling or anything else along with newer technology. It's a shame though that other companies have to tune in with their standards, but in time harley is going to change, it's just a matter of when. Their average customer is like 40-50 years old, harleys response to that was simply to make a more youth-oriented sportster...
@Roobard Where I think they bombed out is the "Nova project". In case you don't know what it was, harley spent millions on R&D developing a V4. At the last moment someone chickened out, and they went the direction they went rather then to compete with the other companies making better bikes. So now they sell yesterdays bikes at tomorrows prices. You are correct that their riders are aging, so if they don't get on the ball and catch up they are doomed! They screwed up dropping Buell. Big mistake
@themaxrider ...that isn't just anything else then a sportster with other details, i would be happy to see harley producing their old models, like the early shovelhead for example but still producing newer more reliable motorcycles that's more up to date.
I wonder if anyone that works for harley ever sees this stuff? I would hope eventually they would pull their heads out of their ass's and catch up to the rest of the world? I'd love to meet their board of directors! I have a few things I'd like to ask them! For one do the loyalists have a gun to their heads or why the hell can't they figure out that rattling piles of junk aren't exactly what makes riding pleasant! Functional up to date smooth running engines would greatly be appreciated!
Finally! Someone that is intelligent and has a sense of humor. I'm a motorcycle and car enthusiast. I have my preferences to makes and models of course, but also approach it with an open mind. If you're "pro this" and "pro that" and bad mouth others or other vehicle manufacturers then it just shows how closed minded and ignorant you are. Yea you know the ones that emphasize; "Ignorance is bliss" to it's full potential.
@halfthrottle yea I've ridden many types of bikes. Sportbikes, sport tourers, "full dressers", and cruisers. Ranging from BMW, Harley, Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha. Haven't owned a Suzuki or Ducati yet, but you never know.
Same with cars. Sportcars, trucks, sedan, luxury, compacts, etc... Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Chevy, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Land Rover, Mercedes, and VW.
Even have driven my brother's Volvo big rig... soon to be doing it for a living because the pay is good money. ☺
ja, you are right, but is the human nature man. as soon, i want a harley. may be you dont enjoy, try with a honda cbr 3900cm or a ducati 8400000 V32 engine, yeah, you can get the stars in that navys. really, for the man and woman, eating, fuckin and sleepin could be enough, but our brains are updeveloped and some years back we crossed the effectiveness line and start to fall down in the graffics. well, i feel really good riding custom with my girl, having beers and backing work every monday.
As a Harley owner, I agree with most of what Halfthrottle has illustrated in these vids. I can afford to own a Harley (other bike is a BMW) and yet there are these fashion humping lemmings that feel that if you don't own a Harley, you are not a real biker. Fact is there are very few "bikers" left. A bike is to a biker what a horse is to a cowboy. If it breaks down chances are the closest knowledgable person who can fix it was you. 98% of Harley Riders have no understanding of MC mechanics
@harleyguywa No reason to look like Larry the Cable guy, right? There is a stigma that if you own a Harley, you must be stinky, and without leaves...Gotta love the stereotypes!
@harleyguywa tell me what volumetric efficiency means to you? go on, any harley rider(NO GOOGLING!) and tell me what harley has done to improve that on any bike except the v-rod.
wow you know what halfthrottle i think i am going to turn you in to you tube but even if i dont i thought we where having a debate and you are doing just what i said mom and that does not scare me so please hack away you just told everyone on the net your mom comments crimes on the net wow you got to be one of the dumbest people i have ever try to debate with so i am done and u make send mommy after me and if i get some thing from her i hope you both like the f.b.i.
@harleyguywa Please don't tell the FBI my mom "comments crimes." But if you do decide to contact them please remember to use punctuation. Or they might take one look at your letter and think, "Oh this is just another guy who doesn't have a sense of humor, or an education, or own a Harley but thinks they're really cool so he spends time surfing YouTube while wearing a 10 year old sleeveless Harley Davidson shirt and pecking out comments one finger at a time that read like jibberish."
are you going to come and beat me up now halfthrottle wow you have to be kidding a man who can not debate goes down to the lowest form he can lets fight so i am not worried about you and bring mommy when u come ok now just stop talking to me little child before you get your self into something u can get out of and did u know making threats on the internet is a good way to spend many years behind bars so please keep it up
@harleyguywa My Mom knows how to used Microsoft Word and Execl, she is a hacker, she is back tracing you right now. So you had better apologize about not liking my video right now, and I will call her off. If not then she will hack your address and you can expect a harshly worded letter from her by certified mail in 1 - 2 weeks.
oh another burn from the baby and 99% of the people on here do not use punctuation and quess what little man i got my point across i thought we where talking about harleys not correct punctuation maybe you have lost the subject matter now go home to mommy dinner is waiting this guy could not ride a harley if they gave him lessons
@harleyguywa Okay lets talk about how awesome Harley's are. And how only bad asses can ride them. If only I were bad ass enough to be a lawyer or a doctor who can't spell. Then maybe I would be man enough.
And I don't live with my Mom. If you keep saying that you'll be sorry!
oh gee halfthrolle you just burned me there wow i did not use the correct punctuation on a you tube comment wow what a burn did you think that one up your self or did mommy help you out damm man that was so lame you had to be living in moms basement to even come up with that one lol what a joke u r nooo punctuation
@harleyguywa im just trying to point out that if you are trying to make a point it is easyier for poeple to understand what youa re trying to say if you pull your head outof you ass stop typing with one finger and actually forma sentance one in a while spel chec our awesom two
most harley riders have good job in fact most any more are doctors and lawyers and show me a 50 year old yamaha or why are the japs stealing the v -twin style sorry harley rules and any one with one eye and a half an ass knows that it is about freedome but you would not know that too busy following the crowd and thinking this lame vidieo is cool
this is false because the fuel injection system that harley use's is built by delphi the exact same delphi system that is used on jap bikes and some european. in many cases delphi uses more sensor's on a harley system then most other brands! o were you talking about the fact harley uses a push rod motor? well what do you think a v-rod is dual overhead cam designed by the boys at porsche.
I ride a Harley FXDBI and I enjoy the jokes and videos poking fun at HD. But, except for the "Flaming Nightster" edition, this video is pretty lame and WAY to long. The audio is bush, you can hear the room... probably recorded in his cubicle. I give it a 2 out of 5.
@maxhotflash every one can't love japanese motocycles, and harley got the best life style with hog rally meet and coool design bikes i really think that harley is beautyful sounds great.
@maxhotflash Best life style? I know this is a generalization but any Harley I know sits in a bar, gets drunk off his ass, then rides home. That doesn't sound fun nor is it safe. But hey, if HD riders want to generalize crotch rockets, then we're even, right? Non of my comment is meant to be offensive, just my opinion.
@TheTriumphant675: Your Harley may contain many oriental parts but mine doesn't. Concerning Asian vehicles "made in America", they're still Asian vehicles designed by Asians made in Asian factories owned by Asians with all the profits going directly to Asia. I'm guessing you've got it rationalized in your head that it would be best if all Americans worked for the Japanese. You're welcome to send them your paycheck but I care about America's future even if you don't.
hahaha! halfthrottle, you've done it again. bashed the "establishment," but done it in a light and extremely enjoyable way.
i wouldn't be surprised if one morning i wake up to the news to find that you've been beat, sodomized and hung by a couple of not too happy harley owners.
As an owner of 2 Harleys I find these videos funny as hell. But then again, I don't dress like a pirate either (but I do retain excellent resale value over the other makes).
Peugeot in France has produced powered two-wheelers continuously for longer than any other manufacture, without any "Pass the Parcel" of ownership. Be vary wary of ANY manufacturers claims, they're only trying to flog you stuff.
@rgadave H-D's first V-motor was based on blueprints of a Griffon motor, a French motorcycle manufacturer who was later bought by Peugeot. The motor was unreliable and out of date at the time already. Anyway the Griffon's power plant had 45 degree V-angle and of course those "magical" degree numbers, 315/405.
In spite of this fact HD co. tried to have a patent for the sound of its 45 degree V-twin at the turn of 80s and 90s(??).. pretty much the same thing as if they had invented the wheel...
@halfthrottle Yeah, you're right - it smells and they didn't get the patent, but I'm sure I red about the case tho' not sure 'bout the year when this exactly happened - probably it can be found somewhere from the bit space. Heh, talking about smells and sounds I wonder could I have a patent for my farts - they are uni-ques too 8D
Ah, yes, more sour grapes drivel from our Harley-hating friend Halfwit, whose dislike of the world's oldest & most revered brand of motorcycle is exceeded only by his complete lack of knowledge of them. You should have titled your clip "I can't afford a Harley so I'll claim they're inferior."
@TheTodd8080 If you watch my other videos you will see that I own a BMW R1200GS. I also own a KLR650. Paid cash for both motorcycles. Many Harley riders have a better sense of humor than you Todd. I make videos like this for them, not to convince you or anyone else that Harley's are inferior bikes.
@halfthrottle -- Obviously I have seen your other YouTube offerings, hence the use of the phrase "more sour grapes drivel." And your comments on those clearly prove you are not only a Harley hater but a hater of all things American.
The two foreign bikes you name are both considerably cheaper than comparable Harley models because they're not only vastly inferior but also incredibly butt-ugly.
The only people who badmouth Harleys are the ones who can't afford one.
@TheTodd8080 A lot of Harley fans use the argument "You can't afford it so you hate it." That is like saying starving people hate food, and homeless people hate houses because they can't afford them. It doesn't make sense.
Funny. Actually I believe that Harley was one of the first if not the first to use a microprocessor in their bikes, in '91 or so. On price, yeah they're expensive, but I paid more for my 2006 BMW R1150RT than my '08 Ultra. Harley's are definitely for medium speed cruising and non-cornering (with the exception of the V-bike), but classic and reliable, however technically not in the same league as the Japanese or German bikes.
@halfthrottle -- Halfwit, my knowledge of Harleys and motorcycles in general is encyclopedic compared to yours. I could prove that easily by simply asking you a few questions that you can't find the answers to online.
But you're not interested in facts or knowledge, are you? You're only interested in badmouthing American companies while sending as many American dollars overseas as possible. You are the very epitome of what's wrong with this country.
@TheTodd8080 If you keep calling me Halfwit my feelings might get hurt. I am more interested in entertainment than information in these videos. I do send a lot of money overseas, every dollar I spend actually. I don't live in the United States.
You are aware that many components from your precious "American made" Harleys are actually Japanese or other foreign parts, correct? I bet you are the same kind of person that refuses to buy Japanese cars even though many of them are built here in the US...
@tigertonten Shot down? By what, misinformation? First of all, Royal Enfield didn't make any motorcycles in 1880. Zero. Their very first motorized bicycle prototype was made in 1899.
Secondly, like Triumph and Indian, they've changed ownership and location several times, so only the name has continued, not the manufacturer (see Madras Motors of India). Royal Enfield of England went out of business in 1970.
@tigertonten -- Harley-Davidson has been headquartered in Milwaukee since day one and no company on earth has made motorcycles longer than Harley. Several may have started before Harley, but they've been gone for decades.
Why do Harley riders think everybody wants one? Many of us choose our rides based on personal preference rather than what others will think of us. Oh, answered my own question!
@jglanglois -- I can't speak for other Harley owners, but I don't think everyone wants a Harley.
However, those who go to great lengths to criticize the quality of Harleys (yet don't own one) cannot deny they're devoting an inordinate amount of time to something they claim is inferior. That denotes jealousy in most people's books.
Or to quote Shakespeare, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
@TheTodd8080 As a Buell XB12s owner I find that in the 'performance-to-price ratio' its very hard to beat a foreign bike. I Loathe Harleys because what they have done to Buell and their inept ability to attain a younger audience. I know the only reason Harleys cost more on average is bc the harley makers have signif higher wages than the foreigners(not Duc's or MVAgustas). If harley cant have Buell back, they need to make a REAL sportbike(not that weak xr1200) with the Goliath Power train!!
If I would have known that HD was coming out with this new line I would not have bought a mac. I cant believe I can trade performance and reliability for flames.
Actually their bikes aren't bad, but the whole pirate lifestyle is a farce. One thing you got to give them is HD knows how to sell stuff. Anybody that can sell tee shirts for $50 bucks and convince their customers they need lots of them, well, they're the gurus of sales.
@DucatiS2R1000S I am thinking of trying to sell the props I used on ebay. Unfortunately the flaming skull is nothing but ash.... along with my green screen.
@svengalie I've taken a few Harley's for test rides and have to admit I enjoyed it. I mean it's a motorcycle what's to hate right? I just enjoy getting under the skin of these Harley riders who become angry so easily.
@halfthrottle@svengalie Youve just been traced.Im warning you they could mistake you for the real thing,these guys play for keeps,dont joke around about this shit,your talking about the Fucking Hells Angels,If you really are in WPP,your already dead.
of coarse... because sportser or soft tail mean nothing. or maybe v rod and glide. dont forget the night rod and nightster. if you cant understand why they have these names then you are as dumb as the guy who posted this vid.

I ride a Harley FXDBI and I enjoy the jokes and videos poking fun at HD. But, except for the "Flaming Nightster" edition, this video is pretty lame and WAY to long. The audio is bush, you can hear the room... probably recorded in his cubicle. I give it a 2 out of 5.

@maxhotflash every one can't love japanese motocycles, and harley got the best life style with hog rally meet and coool design bikes i really think that harley is beautyful sounds great.
maxhotflash 1 year ago
@maxhotflash Best life style? I know this is a generalization but any Harley I know sits in a bar, gets drunk off his ass, then rides home. That doesn't sound fun nor is it safe. But hey, if HD riders want to generalize crotch rockets, then we're even, right? Non of my comment is meant to be offensive, just my opinion.

@TheTriumphant675: Your Harley may contain many oriental parts but mine doesn't. Concerning Asian vehicles "made in America", they're still Asian vehicles designed by Asians made in Asian factories owned by Asians with all the profits going directly to Asia. I'm guessing you've got it rationalized in your head that it would be best if all Americans worked for the Japanese. You're welcome to send them your paycheck but I care about America's future even if you don't.

@calaveracinema Sodomy is a very real concern when making fun of grown men who choose to dress in leather with tassels, and chains.

@halfthrottle
As an owner of 2 Harleys I find these videos funny as hell. But then again, I don't dress like a pirate either (but I do retain excellent resale value over the other makes).

@HatebeingPC
The resale value is one reason I went for a Harley this time, the worth of my metric cruiser made me cry when I sold it.

Peugeot in France has produced powered two-wheelers continuously for longer than any other manufacture, without any "Pass the Parcel" of ownership. Be vary wary of ANY manufacturers claims, they're only trying to flog you stuff.
rgadave 1 year ago
@rgadave H-D's first V-motor was based on blueprints of a Griffon motor, a French motorcycle manufacturer who was later bought by Peugeot. The motor was unreliable and out of date at the time already. Anyway the Griffon's power plant had 45 degree V-angle and of course those "magical" degree numbers, 315/405.
In spite of this fact HD co. tried to have a patent for the sound of its 45 degree V-twin at the turn of 80s and 90s(??).. pretty much the same thing as if they had invented the wheel...

@OttovonEarth Is it really possible to patent a sound in the United States? I know smells can't be patented.
halfthrottle 1 year ago
@halfthrottle Yeah, you're right - it smells and they didn't get the patent, but I'm sure I red about the case tho' not sure 'bout the year when this exactly happened - probably it can be found somewhere from the bit space. Heh, talking about smells and sounds I wonder could I have a patent for my farts - they are uni-ques too 8D

Ah, yes, more sour grapes drivel from our Harley-hating friend Halfwit, whose dislike of the world's oldest & most revered brand of motorcycle is exceeded only by his complete lack of knowledge of them. You should have titled your clip "I can't afford a Harley so I'll claim they're inferior."
TheTodd8080 1 year ago
@TheTodd8080 If you watch my other videos you will see that I own a BMW R1200GS. I also own a KLR650. Paid cash for both motorcycles. Many Harley riders have a better sense of humor than you Todd. I make videos like this for them, not to convince you or anyone else that Harley's are inferior bikes.
halfthrottle 1 year ago
@halfthrottle -- Obviously I have seen your other YouTube offerings, hence the use of the phrase "more sour grapes drivel." And your comments on those clearly prove you are not only a Harley hater but a hater of all things American.
The two foreign bikes you name are both considerably cheaper than comparable Harley models because they're not only vastly inferior but also incredibly butt-ugly.
The only people who badmouth Harleys are the ones who can't afford one.
TheTodd8080 1 year ago
@TheTodd8080 A lot of Harley fans use the argument "You can't afford it so you hate it." That is like saying starving people hate food, and homeless people hate houses because they can't afford them. It doesn't make sense.
halfthrottle 1 year ago
Funny. Actually I believe that Harley was one of the first if not the first to use a microprocessor in their bikes, in '91 or so. On price, yeah they're expensive, but I paid more for my 2006 BMW R1150RT than my '08 Ultra. Harley's are definitely for medium speed cruising and non-cornering (with the exception of the V-bike), but classic and reliable, however technically not in the same league as the Japanese or German bikes.

@halfthrottle -- Halfwit, my knowledge of Harleys and motorcycles in general is encyclopedic compared to yours. I could prove that easily by simply asking you a few questions that you can't find the answers to online.
But you're not interested in facts or knowledge, are you? You're only interested in badmouthing American companies while sending as many American dollars overseas as possible. You are the very epitome of what's wrong with this country.
TheTodd8080 1 year ago
@TheTodd8080 If you keep calling me Halfwit my feelings might get hurt. I am more interested in entertainment than information in these videos. I do send a lot of money overseas, every dollar I spend actually. I don't live in the United States.

You are aware that many components from your precious "American made" Harleys are actually Japanese or other foreign parts, correct? I bet you are the same kind of person that refuses to buy Japanese cars even though many of them are built here in the US...

tigertonten 1 year ago
@tigertonten Shot down? By what, misinformation? First of all, Royal Enfield didn't make any motorcycles in 1880. Zero. Their very first motorized bicycle prototype was made in 1899.
Secondly, like Triumph and Indian, they've changed ownership and location several times, so only the name has continued, not the manufacturer (see Madras Motors of India). Royal Enfield of England went out of business in 1970.
TheTodd8080 1 year ago
@tigertonten -- Harley-Davidson has been headquartered in Milwaukee since day one and no company on earth has made motorcycles longer than Harley. Several may have started before Harley, but they've been gone for decades.

Why do Harley riders think everybody wants one? Many of us choose our rides based on personal preference rather than what others will think of us. Oh, answered my own question!
jglanglois 1 year ago
@jglanglois -- I can't speak for other Harley owners, but I don't think everyone wants a Harley.
However, those who go to great lengths to criticize the quality of Harleys (yet don't own one) cannot deny they're devoting an inordinate amount of time to something they claim is inferior. That denotes jealousy in most people's books.
Or to quote Shakespeare, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

scoopyex 1 year ago
@TheTodd8080 As a Buell XB12s owner I find that in the 'performance-to-price ratio' its very hard to beat a foreign bike. I Loathe Harleys because what they have done to Buell and their inept ability to attain a younger audience. I know the only reason Harleys cost more on average is bc the harley makers have signif higher wages than the foreigners(not Duc's or MVAgustas). If harley cant have Buell back, they need to make a REAL sportbike(not that weak xr1200) with the Goliath Power train!!

Actually their bikes aren't bad, but the whole pirate lifestyle is a farce. One thing you got to give them is HD knows how to sell stuff. Anybody that can sell tee shirts for $50 bucks and convince their customers they need lots of them, well, they're the gurus of sales.
