I have two problems with that bike;it comes in too many colors to choose from,and I can't buy it here.

My Harley weighs about 650lbs without me. 25K miles and the original belt has tons of life left.

Harleys have been running belt drives since the 80's.

Lots of Harleys get ridden in the winter(police bikes for example). I've never heard of a single issue with salt or road chemicals.
