Before you get the wrong idea, I'm not a rice burner basher. Whatever you ride is great. I've owned Kawasaki's, Yamaha's, and now Harleys. My wife and I both ride Road Kings. I've ridden since age 18 and am now 52.
If I had to choose between giving up audio and riding it would be a tough decision.

I love motorcycles. Havent really rode anything on the street, since I dont have my liscence yet. But for dirt, I ride a 1991 Honda CR 500 and a 2005 Kawasaki KDX 220. Both excelent bikes in different ways. My dad owns a 1970 Triumph T-100 chopper which is awesome. I personally would prefer a more unique sportbike such as an Aprilia Mille or Triumph Daytona to a cruiser or Harley. But I love the older Harleys. You know, the ones that have a kickstarter, vibrate like crazy, and leak oil. The new Harleys and cruisers are just waaaaaay too popular nowadays.

T; Does Buell count? Actually it is an authentic Eric Buell creation, a pre-H-D S-1. I have also ridden rice burners for most of my riding years, 15-50, but recently, the past 5-10 years, I've picked up two KTMs, a Montesa and the S-1. My primary bike is stiil a Yamaha Roadstar.
Shown here rigged for solo touring.
My wife road a Roadstar Millenium for 3 years and loved it. The bike that I rode that was my favorite was a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic.

Damnit, and here I was looking forward to bashing Harley riders. I can't really do that now can I?
Sure you can. Check this out.....
Q: How do you know a Harley® rider invented the toothbrush?
A: If he rode an Indian® he would have named it a teethbrush.

But I love the older Harleys. You know, the ones that have a kickstarter, vibrate like crazy, and leak oil.
Something like mine:
Some 20 years old, 150 000 miles plus, and still unopened!
No electronics, a lot of vibrations and a top speed long after the speedometer have stopped rotating because the pointer have stopped in the pin!
And a lot of oil spray (old Harleys always used drop-lubricating!)
No kick-starter though, even if that would have been a nice gimmick (but I have seen some, kick-starting a grumpy old bike, and I am very happy mine starts with a button!).
