I continue to have a problem with the Harley/Cobra thing. In the days of the original Cobras, they were revered because they were very quick, good handling cars. When I went out on the road in mine, I was confident that there was nothing that I'd come up against that I could not annihilate. The noise and flash were nice, but secondary. Coincidentally, at the same time I had a 77 cubic inch Harley XLCH that could do the same to just about any bike of that era.

Today's Harleys have the noise and flash part down, but are far down the scale of two wheeled performance. For me, a Cobra (real or replica) is about substance first and form second. Harleys are all form.
