Crotch rocket or regular street bike?

I like the looks of the rigid frame so much I think I would choose the Tejas any day. I have somewhat retro taste.

What does your paint look like?
 
basskiller & ryker77...very good points. :)

If you've got the cash just sitting around, then yeah a harley is a good investment. My friends uncle bought his for $12,000 CDN a few years ago and tricked it out pretty good. The damn thing is worth more than my car now. :) He told me he gets offers in the mid 20's all the time...

Sounds like plifter just wants something to ride around on, so a harley is probably not a good idea for him. He'd be better off with an old honda or something similar.
 
FRANK......... PAINT IS ALL CUSTOM, I ORDERED IT A FLAT GRAY AND HAD CUSTOM AIR GUN WORK TO IT. THEIR CUSTOM PAINT IS NOT CUSTOM CAUSE I AND THEN YOU CAN ORDER THE SAME PAINT CODE. NOW IS THIS CUSTOM PAINT? NO, CUSTOM IS SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN AND NOW MINE WILL NEVER SHOW UP WITH THE GUY DOWN THE STREET LET ALONE ANY WHERE. SO I NOW HAVE CUSTOM, TRUE CUSTOM.
 
I won't be riding a Harley, way out of the budget. I'm looking for a used bike that's pretty cheap. My dad bought an old Honda Magna for $800. It needed a little engine work but dad had it running within 3 days. Whatever I get probably won't be more than $2000.

I've always gotten a huge kick out of these Harley 'tards that dump a TON of cash into their bikes, trying to squeeze out some more HP. Some of these guys start to think that they are possessing some serious horsepower. They have more money in their "performance" mods than I spent on my whole GSX-R 750, and I can still out run 'em, out brake 'em and out corner them like they are standing still.
You can't polish a
turd, fellas. :)

Anyone who knows a thing about bikes understands that Harleys have nothing to do with speed. thats the furthest thing a hog rider looks for. its all about the cruise.
 
No prob Rizzo, Merch makes a 131, too. Its a big bore short stroke motor that revs completely different than a Harley. Harley went the wrong way with their engines in my mind. Merch's make torque that jap stuff can't make. Those rigids aren't all that heavy compared to other bikes. Plifter-I'd go for an older Magna if you want to be frugal.They are the original speed bikes
