I prefer the Japanese bikes for their sophisticated engineering and broad dealer support network. After several BMW’s I soured on them, not sure if it’s me or them but it’s my money so no more BMWs.
Never been a big fan of Harley in particular or V-Twins in general but I completely agree with your point of dealer and service support everywhere in continental North America. A well sorted Harley is a good solid bike, we all know the legendary short comings of the brand but they do have significant benefits also. Lots of barely ridden used ones available at realistic prices. Bit of well researched upgrades and you have a keeper.
Indian interesting but not ready for prime time yet, very good bikes that “nickel and dime” you to death getting outfitted and sparse support.
Your money, your choice. I’d really prefer a solid sports tourer but would ride a Harley, then again my mother did marry my father and she didn’t spend a lot of time in jail.
