Nazis make great engines! But then, I'm not a Harley owner.

Is it just me or is the new Switchback model a dead ringer for my dumpy ol Yamaha? I've always suspected this Vstar is a nod to AMF Harleys, but now I think I have my confirmation.

I don't really see much resemblance beyond "red cruiser." The Yamaha looks more Softail inspired, really.

Always wanted to try out a Buell Lightning. A naked sportbike with a Harley engine sounds interesting, plus they look cool as poo poo. What are they like to own?
I can't imagine they're too bad to own. There's some reports of some minor QC issues that are easily remedied, but beyond that you have a variant of a very reliable engine that requires minimal work to keep running. Although I do remember some stories of "Step 1: Remove engine" for certain things, though I could be confusing that with something else.

Son, you haven't been on the internet long enough if you think that was a ruckus.
Yeah, those are Hondas not Harleys.

 Polaris bought Indian this time, so they'll either stick around or become a sub-brand of Victory, since Victory has been reasonably successful.
