should i get a Harley, Chopper, Yamaha R1?

[mojomadonna]

i am more of a car guy but i can appreciate bikes and my neighbor has a very old Harley. i grew up hearing that name a lot in a prestigious way like "king of the road" but what is so cool about them my neighbor has a very old one that doesn't look so nice or go so fast.

would you rather get a Harley Davidson or a chopper?

i know like many cars there must be history behind Harleys but can any1 please explain to me what it is and yeah

Harley, chopper, or an R1/ ducatti? whats your pick and why.

honestly because i have 10,000 saved up and i wanted to buy a sports bike like a Yamaha but my neighbor told me I'd be making a mistake and a Harley is a keeper. Im just confused can any1 give me a rush of information to help me out.

Ive saved my money for a long time and i want to get a bike for the long run and my neighbor says a Harley helps you mature faster and mature people enjoy it more. and plus he says the girls like it that i really have to doubt. lol

i would prefer the r1 or ducati harleys have absolutly no power and dont handle at all. but if u r going to travel for massive distances a harley is better but even then id buy another name bike because for what u pay ur not getting much. if u buy a harley with the want to ride fast u will be dissapointed spend the money on a real bike the only things harleys do is making sound
