Best handling Harley-Davidson?

[GrayWolf]

Yes, I should probably mention the Honda



Picked it up yesterday!

Would love to try one of the Valkyrie's heard they are a fantastic ride.....

Same. I would guess they spit nails when you twist the throttle.

I've ridden it's smaller V4 cousin, and it's very fun.

Impressions so far:
It's big, really big. Handles really well despite it's size. I can see how people get into trouble on them, one can forget one is riding such a huge bike and start punting it around a bit hard. Heaps of ground clearance. Stiff chassis. Great sound! Sounds like a Porsche. The ride is really smooth but the suspension isn't suited to our roads. Pulls hard, it's about as fast as the cammed up fatbob I rode from Wellington MC... maybe a bit slower down low. People are lining up to go for a cruise on the back!

It's getting tyres today (EXPENSIVE!!) so hopefully the weekend isn't too wet.

It was touch and go, almost literally, getting the bike thru the "bike gate" into the house! Will do more videos and a proper review in due course, in a new thread.

Nice ride Kiwifruit and very deft going up that plank for something the size of a small ship. I was harassed by one of those over the saddles on the forgotten highway once, they sure do handle for a mega cruiser. Enjoy.
