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 F900XR

Cons

  • Cost of ownership
  • Limited sales and service

Verdict

The BMW F 900 XR may be a middleweight sport touring machine, and not have the off-road capability or versatility of a full-blown ADV. But it shines with its powerful engine, comfortable ergonomics and superb dynamics.
