What is not mentioned is the fact that most service seem to outcost other vehicles by a lot--unless your driving a caddy, bmw, or similar.

I had my break-in service on the Vulcan last week and it was fully a hundred dollars less than the same service done to the .

And most of the time now, we are not seeing certified mechanics either.

And the same dealer sells and services both brands.
My Honda Goldwings cost almost nothing to maintain. My Harley could easily cost as much or more than the Spyders. The brand and design are key in this conversation.
