WTF HD72 advert

Be a good bike for weekend ride. Idd like to own one but it wouldnt be an only bike. Is it me or does it look a bit to plain in the details just a lot of flat surface chrome. I guess that why you need to spend a bit on extras to make it more one off looking.

Weekend rides? Better plan ahead so you don't run out of petrol in the middle of nowhere. 7.9 litres, most 250s have bigger tanks.

I remember the days of owning a SP1 that didnt have alot of gas left after 150km even though it had a 17-18litre tank.
Wellington to Foxton if your carefull on the wrist action.

Pretty appropriate comparison when you consider they're about on par with HD as far as power and handling go
