Then I started realizing that a large portion of those were really Japanese v-twins that just looked liked HD's.
I finally figured out how to tell them apart:
- If it is quiet, it is
probably a Japanese v-twin.
- If it is loud as hell, it is
definitely an HD.
Only HD riders feel the need to replace a perfectly good exhaust system with obnoxiously-loud aftermarket junk.
