texxasco, speaking from experience. I insure my car for approximately $2700 per year. A similar policy on a conservative cruiser would cost me about double that and I have a perfect record on both bike and in car.
Insurance fluctuates wildly per market, so I was sort of jumping to a conclusion there, but all the same it's a point to keep in mind. A bike isn't necessarily the cheaper option.
And I'd say all that Japanese vs. Harley stuff is so much personal preference, just like domestic vs. foreign cars. I have never seen a Japanese cruiser that I like better than a good HD Dynaglide. I'm not going to begrudge the guy I pass on the street his Shadow, but it's definitely not my style.
