I have a little Honda Shadow that I have rode for years, and if I can get through a single ride without a "hur hur, Betcha wish ya had a Harley" comment, it has been a good day.

I totally have to have a bike that is loud as hell, and about 2-3X the price of a comparable Japanese bike. NO THANKS!

Not all Harley's are loud, some of the newer V-Twins are about the same as your shadow as far as sound level.
Theory behind loud bikes is ya get noticed instead of ran over by a cage. Ofcourse l'm talking today not 25 plus years ago.
I bought the bike in my first post 2013 custom softtail for $3000, that's also along story why so cheap but you are correct they are expensive.

In 1986 l bought a Softtail for $11,000 and in 96 sold it for $14,000, you will never do that with a Japanese bike!

Also had a 03 custom softtail and apparently it wasn't loud enough when the car back out Infront of me and wrote it off 4 years ago this May coming, but once again l almost broke even when the insurance paid out to replace it for $12,700.

Facts speak for themselves, they keep there value!

Manly Prius not Harley-Davidson argument guys! And I happen to like all types of bikes on and off road almost bought a knucklehead once my drz400 was stolen or I'd still be riding it. My point is this discussion is for a different thread

The shop by me put a Hellcat drive train in one.

Here's a pic.

The original plan was to build the cage to look like a jail cell and have a life size Hillary doll in it!!

^^^^ That is just silly.

One of my pipedreams was to put a supercharged iForce in a tubbed Tercel. It would be white, and dubbed "Pro Rice."
I still like the idea of a stupidly fast minivan.
