I shouldn't bad mouth em, heck I rode them for many years. 
Spent $35K on one alone 
But MAN am rolling smooth now 
Yeah, I won't knock any bike. I may have a few things to say about the rider, but not the bike. I actually have considered buying a Harley, not for the typical reasons, looks cool, etc, but for simplicities sake and a slower pace. There is a certain beauty about them. While helping out at a dealership for a few years, we took a 1959 panhead in on trade, it wasn't a particularly pristine specimen, definitely not a show bike, I claimed it as mine and had a blast riding it. I got good at kick starting it and loved every minute of riding it.
I have looked at many used ones, but unfortunately most used ones have things I don't want, underarm drying units, (apehangers) straight pipes and ugly chrome accessories or open primaries. I once in a while come across a stock bike and seriously consider it. I don't need one though since my C14 is not going to die anytime soon, and is a great bike. In the past I have had two bikes but it is more difficult to justify at the moment. Of course today I found a Heritage Softail with a sidecar and that got my attention. I could use it to go to the airport and carry my bags and would be a good Winter bike for me. My wife just started working so I will need a second car soon. Hmmm...
