Nice bike. Accelerates smoothly. Braking is fine. Peg placement takes awhile to get use to (I´m use to dirt bikes) as it is a bit forward but that is ok. Seat and handle bar placement are great and the seat is comfortable. Not much vibration (I was expecting more).

 
  You can´t tell from the pictures, but the seat/handle bar/peg placement is pretty comfortable.

The bike is the same size as the American which is a stretched version of the bonniville(?).

I personnally thought 1st gear should be a little lower and 2nd higher. You are going pretty fast in first before you shift.

My windshield is nice and solid but I´m confused as to why the top is right in my field of vision. I have to make an effor to look over the top (I´m 5´11´).

I guess big bikes don´t have kick starters or center stands any longer. It would be nice if the automatically came with a battery charger.
