I ride a 250r because its really fun. I also have a $25,000 custom Harley and that's fun too. When I want to be flashy and take my wife out and make lots of noise or go on a long trip I take the hog. When I want to enjoy the purest sense of motorcycling I take the Ninja.

They're not fast per size in that no matter how big the motor the things barely break 110mph. ninja 250 is also slow but it's a 250, they just can't be fast at that size.
They have total **** brakes yes the ninja 250 also has **** brakes but not mine
They can't take a corner any better then a clapped out honda civic missing half it's lug nuts.
The overall appearance has remained very close to it's classic origins and I have zero appreciation of almost anything classic whether it be a bike, car or music.
So with a harley lacking any of the practical things "I" look for in what I deem makes a motorcycle a motorcycle, I just seem to see them as $25,000 devices of over compensation. For me who started riding bike on the track motorcycles are a symbol of cutting edge technology.
So to each his own and I won't ever criticize a total stranger on their ride, you have to be a good friend before I tear into you for buying a harley
