I have to agree with Shiny_c for this one, but I have to say out of experience, buying a HD will attract some women, and deter others. I have a ex-gf because I wanted a Harley, and she hates motorcycles. I also have had many, many more looks from women since I started riding than I did before. But it's a attitude. If you buy it because they want you to, they will know it. You have to wan't it.
And to all the HD haters out there, I'm sorry you are too lazy to get a decent job, to afford a real bike. At 17 I worked a part time job (38 hours a week) and finished high school to get a brand new Fat Boy. A idiot fell asleep and wrecked into me at 70mph two months later. But I would do it all over again, even though I am still stuck in a wheelchair at 18, and will be for a few more months. No regrets, and ride safe, no matter what bike you choose!
