Don't forget that the difference in running costs, fuel consumption and insurance would be astronomical between those two bikes. If somebody's a new bike rider and not made of money and doesn't care about bike snobbery then a Chinese cruiser is by far the better bet. Certain Chinese bikes actually use Honda Benly clone engines that are perfectly fine. Tyres for a Chinese cruiser are £35 each whereas a tyre for a Sportster starts at around £100. That's pretty much the same with all other bits and pieces. It all just depends on what you're after. Want to ride often and ride cheap? Go Chinese and get lots of biking experience under your belt. Want to stand around polishing your pride and joy with empty pockets- go Harley.
