One month only on Heritage so far. Although a cruiser and feels like riding a couch on Harley Davidson, I feel its slower on acceleration then the Triumph and my Yamaha. Once up and running though HD, I get the speed on..
so comfort 9/10, 7/10 for acceleration HD

What do ya reckon?

Susan Boyle. She'd be soooo gratefull. The paper bag would have Megans picture on it and the dozen stubbies that were in the bag would help.

Heritage was designed for looks by the marketing department so it was compromised from the very start

Best Harleys (big twin) were designed by the engineering department (read Eric Buell before he did his own thing), the FXR and FLT series, handle better and these frames handle better and can handle far more power than the softail frame

Comfort and Performance - best compromise for a Harley is FLT / FXR frame with a large s&s motor

Sounds like a Tui ad - neither if you're honest

Comfort 9/10
Acceleration 7/10
Top gear passing 8/10
Grin factor 10/10

Irritant factor (ability to annoy owners of other brands) 15/10!!!:2thumbsup

(But maybe I am not too demanding???)

Acceleration 7/10? Is it a Vespa grading system? :bleh::msn-wink::eek:

Irritant factor is pretty bang on though :shifty:

No ... you suggest the choice is between what looks good, or what sounds good ... I believe it's in the ride that counts ... and that is an individual choice ...
