Why do you need to rev it early in the morning for 5 minutes waking up the neighborhood?

    I am looking to get into motorcycles and know nothing about them. I want a work horse to travel through the south american continent. I was under the impression that Harley was considered great for that purpose, I guess their propaganda worked on me. Can someone enlighten me on models or places to learn what I want?

      I’ve never known anyone who said Harley’s were good for anything besides"style"

      … This includes several people who owned Harley’s.

      Never had one myself so I can’t speak from personal experience.

      I’m not an expert, but anyone I’ve ever seen doing transcontinental rides has some kind of ‘touring’ bike. BMW is a pretty common brand.
