The Yamaha compared to the Honda

 I've been looking at the Harley clones that these two makers make.
Honda has a shaft drive cruiser with a 1300 power plant.  Disc brake
front and rear for between 9 and 10,000 dollars.

Yamaha also has a choise of cruisers with the shaft drive but some have
a drum brake in the rear.  The price is about the same or a little
less.  There is the V Star classic and the other Yamaha cruisers that a
larger with saddlebags.

Me personaly would go for the Yamaha just because I like the looks
better.  Also just the name "Yamaha" sounds a heck of a lot cooler than
the name "Honda".  Both are Japanese last names I'll bet.

The paint scheme just looks more suitable on the Yamaha.  One one bike
it's metallic blue, on another it's metallic red and black.  It looks
nice.  On the Honda XTR???  It's painted in black.  I'd rather have the
bike a different color than black in order to be more visible.

 Or is the Honda going to be more reliable?  Or will both bikes be
relatively the same reliability wise?

I've actually yet to see a four cycle engine. I've seen thousands of two and
four STROKE engines, but never a 4 cycle.

I've heard both terms used. This guy uses 'cycle' in his article:

Maybe it's a U.S. 'thing' to refer to them as four (or two) cycle
engines?
