It is a heavy bike, 100 lbs heavier than the HD Road King but with 30 more horses! It will stall if I don´t give it enough juice on take off, but I´m 260 lbs and 6´2". Smaller lighter riders probably won´t have a problem. However, after rolling it has plenty of power! I love rolling along side a buddy on a V twin and watch his amazement when he drops a gear and trys to shoot past me - I just roll on the throttle in what ever gear I´m in (even 5th!) and it´s bye bye!
