The latte types will be in the city,most are out on real roads.Main roads are not my ideal - but sit anywhere on SH1 for a whole day,and you will see more Harleys than any other brand.Unless of course the BMW Owners Club,or Honda Riders Club go past.I work on SH1 - I know what bikes go past my door.

Don't forget SH6! I use it everyday. (Could do with a bit work here and there too....)

Shit no. Once upon a time there'd be a two-to-three year waiting list for some models. The Fat Bob is a popular new model and they're available in around five months (mine was a cancelled order I couldn't resist).

Don't see that it matters. Lower prices mean better value for money. It's not like you might encounter the same pressure to upgrade as you would with, say, a GSXR.

Okay have to agree on the rocker,didn't think I would like it but shit it was comfortable and enjoyed every minute of it,as for going around corners my xr 1200 does it pretty well and it gets ridden every day rain hail or shine and has just clicked over 9000kms since the 13 jan.

There's two things you should probably know about me.

1. I own a Harley.
2. I'm bald.

It's "there ARE two things" as 'things' denotes plural.

I'm going bald so I shave my head. Zero maintenance.

Re. carb icing. They'll sell you some 'Winter Idle Boost' to cure that. Just a wee cap full in each full tank and the problem disappears.

My cure might be slightly less attractive but it cost practically nothing and I can use it winter after winter.
