What should I do?

Jay · 24th July 2019, 20:53

Getting an MOT tomorrow. No reason to worry about that as it has done only 2K since the last one and now sports two new HD tyres with back one now being 'phatter'.

Here it is from a thread I started

https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...08#post2747608

Now do I keep it or swap it with a Porsche Boxster S with the glass heated rear window of the 3.2 flat six 0-60 5.9 sec with an upgraded exhaust?
Have done some research and am aware of the IMS bearing issue.

Just to mention my joints are not as they once where but The Harley is hard to say goodbye to

H/D or Porsche ?

Get a thumb throttle, you won't need the brake as Harleys don't go fast enough!

Ducati for me!

I don't mind them but they are a bit 'run of the mill' for me l think.
Ps this Harley isn't slow with 1600cc's strapped to the frame

Thanks for the reply

Hi, I ride a honda cb500xa. I find it light to handle, agile to ride and very economical. It can keep up with larger bikes in everyday riding conditions. I cannot see the need for anything bigger.

against an "old" bike its best part of 2 seconds 0 to 60
