Gen 3 is like a Harley

My Gen 3 is just like my Harley, happiest at high rpms. You have to appreciate Harley's to appreciate the Gen 3. I love my Harley and my Gen 3, no complaints from me. I would guess most malcontent posts here are from crotch-rocket riders.

 

..leaking oil

 

I ride a lot on the Blue Ridge Parkway - lots of curves. I can smell a Harley about a mile before I catch it (they typically meander at about 30 in a 45). Smells like some sort of 1950s oil-burning Packard.

My 3rd Gen is much more refined than that, as is my motorcycle.

 

Are you implying that your v-twin Harley revs higher than your typical crotch rocket?

 

I do.... I know exactly what you are talking about... Knees in the breeze and enjoying that rumble.

One of mine....

 

Marking it's spot

 

Actually, maybe they're just talking about running through the full rev range (which is fun on any motorcycle), and not saying it revs to the moon.

 

ok, yea, a harley.

 

I’m an older dude and yea I get the crowd that loves their Harley’s but I have a need for speed and I always have but I also need a truck which is not a race car. I get my need for speed on one of those them thar crotchety rockets.

 

Q: Why do all Harley riders look grim?
A: Because they all realize they paid too much for an inferior motorcycle.

And I'm a F6B rider....

 

Isn't that a "ring-a-ding-ding" KZ1000 Kawasaki?

 

Only once..

 

What? My crotch rocket had redline of 15,500 rpm and peak torque was 10,500 rpm. Output of 200 hp per liter.
Hardly like any Harley I ever rode.

 

Glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of that episode

 

I also don't see Tacoma owners crying about "respect" when someone passes them on the freeway.

 

Ugly, slow, overpriced, overweight and designed for Americans who think bigger is better? Sounds about right. Need to start a stupid loud pipes save lives campaign for Tacomas now.

 

If 3rd gens are like riding a Harley, never have I been more happy to drive a 2nd gen than now.

 

My Taco isn't like a Hardley at all. It's never once been broken down on the side of the highway. It doesn't annoy a couple blocks worth of people while driving through a neighborhood. It doesn't leak oil all over. And I've never felt the urge to get a Toyota 'T' logo tattooed somewhere on myself.
