Owned over 40 bikes in my time. From Indians to Ducati´s to 6 cylinder monsters, rode over a hundred others. This is a balanced, fun and sure footed cycle. | ||||||
| The first thing you notice is the low first gear, idle at walking speed and handles as if you were walking. The next thing you notice is how the fuel injection keeps the engine smooth at all speeds. No bucking and jerking, just smooth power, with that thumper vibration not the buzz that puts your hands to sleep in ten miles. The overall fit and quality of the parts and is very good. The design and looks are top notch, a very classy looking cycle. The paint and chrome give the bike a much more expensive look than you are paying for. The ride is fantasic on smooth roads, but a bit firm on bumpy ones. The firmness shows it´s good side when you throw it into a twisty road and scrape the floor boards. This bike inspires confidence, period. I´ve ridden ZX10´s, and been so tired afterwards, because of the concentration needed to keep yourself alive. But this bike is just plain fun to ride. It will scare you if you do something dumb, but it is very forgiving. The power, the handling, the comfort make this bike the best balanced cycle I can ever remember riding. I am not ashamed to be seen on this Harley look alike, frankly I think it looks better than some Harley´s. Numerous people have asked me when Harley started to make the Boulevard. I usually chuckle and say they haven´t yet. The name of the game is fun and pride in your ride. This bike has it. |
