If not the XJ stay in that style, Jap or a Italian is the way to go, a Harley is just a go slow poser bike, that has no braking or no handling at all.

But when you are stopped at a light on a Harley people will go...

"Hey man nice ride" so there is that.
Kevin, FTR, this is solid advice on a beginner bike, not trying to undermine that, just thought it odd that this solid advice would end with a oh yeah, and harleys suck type of comment.
