Quick, powerful, fuel efficient and lots of fun! This bike is a commuter for me and doing the job just fine! | ||||||

I´ve had it almost 4 weeks now. Have almost 2000 miles on it. I´m 6´06´ and 220lbs. This bike is very comfortable for me. Engine is smooth and power delivery is very smooth. I daily commute on it 80 miles a day round trip. If I´m running late for work I´ll run the Interstate at about 80mph and will get about 45mpg since the break in service. If I´m not running late will travel secondary roads at about 60mph and my last tank gave me 57.5mpg. This bike is just as at home on the Interstate as it is on secondary roads. In the last week I´ve installed the ´Boulevard´ windshield (small) and back rest. Believe it or not the windshield improved my fuel mileage by about 3mpg. I´m absolutely pleased with this bike. My only complaint at to this point is my front and rear brakes are noisy. I get a lot of brake squeal. Find it rather annoying. 2 up riding it handles with ease. Engine has plenty of power and torque and suspension has never tried to bottom out. I would buy this bike again and recommend it to anyone looking for this style bike. |
