Pros Cons of Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight

Pros

  • Classic H-D cruiser styling
  • V-twin engine sound

Cons

  • Small fuel tank limits range
  • Gearbox not very refined
  • Performance & acceleration

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Special is definitely not your affordable cruiser. After all, there's a price to be paid to look uber cool and enhance your riding personality. If you're the kind of guy who wants to make a statement with your ride, and nothing short of an all-American v-twin cruiser will do, by all means take a good look at the Forty-Eight, you may end up bringing it home. Just keep in mind that it may start losing its appeal soon.

Pros Cons BMW F900R

Pros

  • Torquey engine performance
  • Electronic safety equipment
  • Ride and handling

Cons

  • Impressive rivals like Triumph Street Triple and Ducati Monster
  • Slightly heavy weight
  • Cost of ownership

Verdict

The BMW F 900 R is a middleweight naked which has a lot going for it. An attractive price point, proper naked roadster ergonomics and very good performance and dynamics give it a decent attraction. The only downside is it pales in comparison to rivals in its segment which are sharper and more performance-oriented.
