I never understood the Harley mystique.  To me, the cruiser styling is
unattractive with the small rear wheel,
tilted back look, and the broken back profile. I've ridden a few and found
their functionality bothersome. The
riding position was uncomfortable for me (+ being tilted too far back for
good all-round visibility), the shaking
was annoying, and it was unacceptable that one knee was banged by the air
cleaner cover, and the other
speared by the ignition key.  I was happy to get off the bike and return to
my smooth Honda that fits me perfectly.
