View Full Version : Very nice Street Robert

Maybe the nicest Harley I've ridden. The Turbo Road King is up there, but this Dyna 120R has 130rwhp and 122nm in a curve as flat as a flat thing on national flat day.
And it handles very tidily.
Article for January Heavy Duty.
Expensive, but a reasonably unique factory custom - and an xxxxcellent road bike.
Paul Lewis designed/specified it.
Here's the for sale page: http://www.morganandwacker.com.au/custom-build-screamin-eagle-120r-dyna
This will be the mag feature shot (I hope).

I think all Harley dealers do custom builds to order. Part of the current pitch is 'your way'. They sent me a quarto book about 4" thick full of bolt on kit. Makes my eyes spin.
The pricing on this one is keen because it's a demo. They have sold seven 120R upgrades off it.
The full spec sheet will be in the mag too.

Nothing you do or bolt on will ever compensate for the fact it is still a Harley Davidson............

Genuine question, can Harleys be made to handle well? Not trying to offend but somebody close to me may end up on one due to injury but wants a bike that can go round corners.

New ones handle OK for how heavy they are. There's better bikes for going around corners. If you want a H-D nothing else will do.

Nice looking bruiser, still isn't close to the turbo night rod special a customer brought in once, that thing did bad things to the tarmac on the way down the street, :shifty:

120R's are awesome to ride eh! We've built quite a few now. A mate of mine has one in a Fatbob. They turn on quite well.

Define "goes round corners"?
My KTM motard race bike handled awesome. Good road bike? Nah not really.
Horses for courses.
If they are injured how fast do they want to go?
My Ducati handles well, doubt someone with busted bits want one though. Bit heavy on the arms at normal speeds.
99% of bikers ride a bike that is far more capable than they are.
The other 1% are often on TV.
And for the record Id love a Harley.
Im over speedo stress when I ride and its only a 900SSie for gods sake.
AND -Really Ducati - "900SSie" - read as '900sissy'?? Hire an english speaker!!!
