Yes and No my friend. On and off.

Hopefully, EBR will find more support and they deserve it.

I've owned lots of Japanese bikes and Harleys. I've gotten it from both sides. For the most part everyone is cool but you will always find one or two that are idiots. The only ones that broke my chops about the Japanese bikes are wannabe gang members. Had a recent experience with a prospect. He almost had a very bad day. I currently have my CB1100 and an Ultra Classic. Ride what you want and enjoy it. Lots of HD guys love my CB. One thing that I do notice is that my HD compared to some of the Japanese cruisers that I've owned is that the quality of the HD and fit and finish is so much nicer and better quality than the Japanese bikes. The HD of today is nothing like the stereotype of the past. They have come a long way. It is true that HD uses a lot of components from the out side. Showa forks, brembo brakes, Chrome frome China and so on. I own a lot of HD shirts and all the tags say made in China so you can tell that to the next HD rider you talk to, lol.

Agree. In my original post I said "some circles here in the USA". I did not say all HD riders. Most other HD riders I met are cool as you mentioned. Some HD riders even went so far as telling me that I should get a Honda for my commute as I put a lot of miles on the bike; and get the HD for fun rides.

Agree again. Yes, when I test-rode the HD bikes, I found the fit and finish better than many Japanese bikes, and you pay the higher price for that. Like it or not, I do like the HD engine sound (with the stock exhaust, and that's good enough for me ears).
On the other hand, the VFR 1200F fit and finish is pretty nice in my opinion, and you'll have to pay more than for the typical Hondas. It's hard to find it in any CA dealer though.
