I don't begrudge a person liking what they like, but I often hear from Harley folk "when are you going to get a real bike" after they see my Honda.

Real affordable?
Real reliable?
Real fast?

I want to spend my time riding, not wrenching. To date, my bike has only had 1 problem with the electronic injection, and that was because I hadn't secured the battery cables tightly enough. There is an annoying rattle from a poorly designed automatic cam chain tensioner, but it doesn't affect operation and can be solved with a cheap manual tensioner. That's it, all the problems I've ever had with the 20 year old bike.

Heck, I've crashed a few times and the bike was always rideable.
