because of the best performance than the harley
best performance than other bike
just what I heard
With the long rides I have been on, the Harley's seem to be broke down more often than Hondas. Matter of fact, I don't think there has ever been a Honda breakdown when I'm on a ride.
More maintenance free, and more dependable. It is water cooled and has a longer engine life. More up to date technology than the Harley.
Hondas set the pace for technology. World's largest manufacturer of engines of any type. Honda makes more Civics than Harley Davidson makes motorcuyles.
I own a harley davidson big twin, 2006 Dyna. Parts and maintenance far exceed similar expenses on my former Honda VFR.
I own 2003 HONDA VTX 1800 Motorcycle. It has over 5k mi and runs like a dream, I do all but change the tires myself. It's an awesome bike with amazing torque! It's never been to the dealer fro any issues!
The simple fact that Harley has refused to upgrade it's design model to incorporate liquid cooling ... Or any of the inovations of the last 20 years.
The technology, the horsepower, less heat generated by the engine, the fiability and the longevity. I had Honda before and now I have an HD. Honda better thats it.
I'm a honda guy
its obvious to real motorcyclist
great bikes !!! and that's a fact!
never had problems with a honda
Honda is a much more reliable bike. Motors are bullet proof, cant say the same for harleys
I have a 1999 Honda Shadow 1100cc, 65,000 miles, been trouble free
Overall you will spend a lot less time at the shop riding a Honda.
Having owned both, the HD Classic required more lash adjustment and accelerated oil adds / changes. My GW was get on, ride... Fuel eco was better with the GW. Averaged 45 - 50 depending on elevation / terrain. the GW handled better. The ride more comfortable and forgiving. With the Engine placement the CG was more attuned to the ride and handling. Don't get me wrong. I did like both motorcycles. As I got older the GW was more of my leisurely ride...
For obvious reasons, I won't bring up the "Signature exhaust Note". The GW was a bit quieter. (Duh)...
Honda is an engineering company first and foremost. Harley Davidson is about America pride " build in the USA". Both are pretty good motorcycle company.
They are just made better
I ride both and the Honda is more comfortable and is a really good safe bike. The Harley is a bit rougher to handle. But the Honda runs smoothly. Also, when I got into a accident with my Honda, I wasnt even phased.
Honda Goldwing is the best made cruiser Harley is now **** Chinese, Korean who ever can make their parts the cheapest.
I drove a Honda for many years. It was dependable and comfortable as my wife always rode with me. I tried Harleys but they didn't measure to to my Honda.
I love style and engine capacity
Greater precision in part design and manufacturing
Honda make the best engines in the world
Superior engineering, Honda has consistently been improving both their products and manufacturing. Their motorcycle racing pedigree is proof positive of their ability to craft superior machines on all fronts. Their sales numbers speak for themselves and the massive fandom built around their classics models (CB,XR,XL etc.) is more widespread than people building custom Harleys. Harley is a lifestyle brand with a sub-par product attached to it, it sustains itself on image and advertising, appealing many to men in the throes of mid-life crisis or young hooligans with more dollars than sense.
Better
I ride long distance and I want a dependable bike that is why I ride a Honda, my get around town bike, not leave the state bike is a Harley.
Cuz Harleys are junk
Reliability
