Well the Harleys don't leak like they used to. I have about 35K on mine and it hasn't had a single drip. They do leave a lot to be desired brand new though. Figure if you buy a base model, say 25,000 for a Road Glide, you can expect to drop another few grand almost immediately on new suspension, windshield, seat and a few other things. Compare that with the Hayabusa at 15,000 that was ready to race and handled like a dream eight off the showroom floor. Unfortunately for me its riding position caused a lot of back and neck pain quickly.
