Re: PC800: Digest Number 2681
Written by williebluestar on 11/7/2004 at 04:28 pm

I certainly hope you took none of that ribbing personally. I
remember years ago. I owned a 175CC Kawasaki dirt bike, I was
19Y/O (please don't ask how long ago). I really wanted a street
bike and my neighbor said to take his Sportster for a ride. I
took it out for an hour, and came back convinced that I'd rather
ride my dirt bike on the street than buy one of those.

Since, I have only ridden one other Harley, when another friend
wanted to swap bikes for a while. That was all I needed for my
final conviction that those bikes are not for me.

You will find plenty of people who love them and it will fetch a
fair price. The problem is, it will take a while to find a PC800
if my experience is any example. But, I don't regret waiting,
not one moment. This Bike has lived up to all my expectations
and more. For comfort and good responsiveness, this bike is an
all around champ!
