[QUOTE="FriscoJim, post: 48617, member: 628"] The money issue was a question always asked on the Roadie forum -if you had the $$ would you buy an HD? The resounding answer was always that the Roadie was a better bike/fit for most. The Roadie has a bigger motor, more torque, better brakes and fit me well - the comparable HD's made me feel cramped and seemed too small. The FJR IMO is a much better looking bike than any BMW out there plus the research I did alerted me also to service issues other have already pointed out here. While money wasn't an issue I still have a problem paying more for something just because it's a staus symbol or perceived as a 'top of the line' product. The purchase decision should take into consideration the value of the item but if it's what you want then money usually isn't a deciding factor. At least not for me. [/QUOTE]
