I see what's going on here, the Brits are always criticizing Harley Davidson in this forum and this question is a form of pay back. Am I right?
Personally I don't care what you ride. I won't criticize your ride and you shouldn't criticize mine. I choose Harley, to each their own.. Ride On!

Well, first off take a peek at my avatar. I'm sitting on an FXDWG with a TC-88, so I know a bit about "Hogs" I've seen some small ladies wrestle big pigges, so we know that "A" ain't the answer. That also takes care of answer "B" since the ladies ain't got a willy. (Except maybe a rubber one in the undies drawer.)
You don't have to see "over" the handlebars, just between them, so that pretty well much shoots "C" in the butt. As for "D", I spent some time in the military, at an MP sub-station, in the British sector of Germany back when there was a British sector. The Brit ladies could not stand my accent, so I can't vote for "D" either. (Born in Brooklyn, NY. Accent is hard on their ears I guess.)
Now if you add an "E" to that list, I could follow the rules. But instead I'll just give you some facts. If you read American Iron magazine, you will see that they have not only Hogs, but also Indians in Britian. I'm sure that there is also a Victory or two hiding out over there. The cost to import an American bike to England is prohibitive to most English. I live here in the states and mine is expensive to upkeep. Add to the lack of local dealers from whom to get supplies and parts, you can see why they don't all have Hogs.
And as a curious aside, perhaps you may want to ask why the US has more Japanese motorcycles than Japan has people. Why not buy US, get the Hog! But they don't. (And yes, I know that a rational person will not start out on a Hog. I didn't.) An interesting question, but you should have left out the choices. (And for "B", the number should be 8, and not 4.) Ciao!

Compared to a Harley, 20,000 for a piece of s*it would be good value.
At least you don't have to spend another 5,000 to make a piece of s*it handle round corners or even brake in a straight line!

e: They are basically pretty crap at going around corners and stopping and they use tractor engines developed in the 1920's

Because in England they actually ride motorcycles and don't consider them toys. H-D's are slow and poor handling, best left to posers.
