I am 6´4", 205 pounds. I have done my research for the last year to buy the right bike for me. I finally choose the VN2000 for many reasons. Funny thing about how bad press can manipulate itself. I read about rear tire hopping, the seat doesn´t fit tall riders, and lack of overall styling. Personally, I don´t see anything with these issues. Simply,it is a superior piece of machinery. I hope to have it for many, many, happy years!
Vance and Hines "Powershots" kick butt on this bike. Not loud at idle or low revs, but get on the throttle and hear it crack, rip and scream!
