And only one of them has brakes. Before I bought my last BM, I tested a Harley. Cant remember whether it was a Dyna or a Softail but it was one of the two. Tested it following a sales guy and damn ear wrote it off running into him because the brakes were dreadful by comparion with the BMW I had ridden to the dealer on. One single front disk to stop something weighting 300kg compared to twin discs for a 200kg BM. IMO the brake design was so inadequate as to be unsafe
Anyone who has been around Harleys for any period of time (although they have improved greatly in recent times!) will immediately junk the brakes, tyres, exhausts, seat, carb if they have any intention of doing anything other than what the Harleys were designed for ie long straight roads with (in most US States) 55mph speed limits...more style than substance on European twisty roads....Route 66 great, anything else can be hard work without modifications. Harleys still come with harder U section tyres rather than the European V section, U section tyres are great for straight roads and covering vast mileages by comparison with softer V section tyres designed for grip in the twisty bits but much shorter life.
