First of all every Manufacturer has Lemons. Just because you got stuck with one doesnt mean they are all like that. Second off almost all manufactures have warranty issues. Im having one With Yamaha right now on an ATV that should be under Warrranty. I am Extremely happy with my 03ยด firebolt and im proud to spend my money on an All american Product rather than something Japanesse. Buy what you want, but just because you got stuck with a lemon doesnt justify ragging on a great All American product like Buell/Harley Davidson.
