Why no Harley squids?

Sure, sportbikes are ridden harder, but they are designed for it.

In fact, the redline on a sportbike is so high and so unnecessary for street riding, that I bet the average sportbike doesn't see redline as often as the average Harley.

There is no way you should consider any motor of modern day to end near 20k. With exception to race motors or something...

Just the sort of responses I was going for... I was kidding.

Though, the maintenance point is a good one... Most HD's are much better maintained the the average sportbike...
