Stopped by my uncle's and unbeknownst to me he was taking delivery of this bike. It was ironic since he was never a bike guy and actually gave me the speech of the dangers of bikes a couple years ago when I bought my RC51. Overall, I thought the bike rode very well. Despite it's large tires the bike had a smooth lean-in. The motor felt strong, but nothing to write home about. And as always the brakes were horrible despite the dual front caliper set up. It was a nice change riding something with an upright position and forward controls.


My uncle already has the modding bug and swapped out the seat, removed an emblem and been adding chrome pieces. He said that there were also a bunch of things on order which the dealership did not have in stock.

I'm sure he's gonna love it in the summer, the new harleys run lean, and HOT, for emissions reasons. One of the biggest complaints i've heard of the newer harleys.

overall it is a little bigger and heavier then a sportster. has a larger motor and is not considered a chicks bike like the sportster
