1994 HD Super Glide

I am looking to get back into bikes after not riding for a few years. I want something comfortable, reliable and looks cook. I found a 1994 Super Glide that I really like with low miles. From what I understand, the older Harley's have an minor oil leak problem. Is this true?
Someone who had a Harley told me to watch it with Harley's because maintenance cost would eat me alive. I am also considering a 2004 Kawsaki Drifter 1500. Would I be better off going with the Drifter vs the Harley? Given, Harley's have great resale value, blah blah blah.. but I am looking long term. I do not want to be constantly taking my bike to the shop for route maintenance.
Thanks!

bill,i owned a 94 HD ultra classic.altho the superglide and ultra are different bikes the engine and tranny are the same.my bike NEVER leaked oil in the 6 years i owned it.i had it from 46K miles to 80K.ive never owned a drifter so i cant comment on that model cycle.when i buy a USED cycle i try to get it from the original owner.that way i know the bike has more chance of being well maintained.  

The idea of a Harley marking it's spot, comes from the automatic chain oiler. A feature which was eliminated, long before 1994.

Additonally, stripping one of the screws that hold on the primary housing or cover, will also cause a leak, but that's due to poor maintenance.
