[QUOTE="SHOdown220, post: 16377198, member: 39652"] Harleys really aren't expensive to maintain. They are such basic motorcycles you can do about anything in you garage with hand tools. Thats honestly one of the reasons I like them. My bike cost me (doing my own work) roughly $80 for the annual service which is all three fluids changed, and the rest is basic checks/adjustments. I have heard however that ducati and BMW are expensive to maintain although I don't know personally how true that is. OP, if I'm not mistaken the scout is more comparable to the sportster line, and if they ride anything like a sportster its worth spending the extra on the harley. Not bashing sportsters they are great bikes but not very comfortable. I demoed the new fat bob and didn't really care for the ergonomics, but thats really a personal preference. I would suggest looking at the dealers in your area for a demo event where you can ride the whole lineup for free and get a good feel of which bike is best for you. Any of the new softails are really great bikes, big improvements over the old softail and dyna line it replaced. The sport glide, low rider s, and heritage are some of my favorites in the softail line. If you want more of an old school feeling bike, and to save some money, pick up a slightly used dyna with the twin cam, although not as refined as the new 107 they definitely have more soul to them.
