I have never been turned on by harleys, new or old, unless they have been chopped up. not long choppers and no factory chrome, but brats, bobbers, and short chops are the bees knees. If i was given one to butcher, i could make something I could love.
there is no new production bike i have really been pining after, except maybe the Honda CB 1100, and even it would need to go on a diet.
Now, give me an old BMW R75... *swoon*
I have a cafe style Honda GL1000 that a lot of people mistake for an old airhead.
EDIT: Triumph, I would buy a new Triumph.
