Local HD shop used to do a annual test ride a HD day. It was a blast - rock up, book your bike and then they would head off around a preset route in a group for a spin. Spped limits be dammed it was a HD test ride day
Best of my knowledge they have not had one for a while but I may be wrong. 2016 models will be out soon so maybe another on its way?
If you are coming off anything other than a V twin cruiser one ride will not sell you one. You'll need a couple to get in the groove. Before you know it you'll be bandanna and fringe bound.
Will they let you fang a V-Rod? Feel the TAG-Porsche tech.. its a.. an.. a.. just try it..
Yep.. I didn't fit it either.. a bit of character, but too raked out.. felt ..not right.. funny it reminded me a bit - of an ancient Ducati..
I've ridden all the big block motors apart from the twin cam, havent ridden a V rod either. The only HD I would have owned was the XR1200, but I have an MT-01 anyway.
HD's are under-engineered and overpriced. Last brand new cruiser I purchased was a Guzzi Cali 1100 in 1995, a far superior bike for handling, performance etc out of the box, and only 2/3 of the price. There's that wonderful 'marketing' thing of HD, sell them a crap bike for performance/brakes etc, and bamboozle them with the 'personalising it/customising it' to make it 'individual' all from a catalogue that every other HD owner can purchase from.
HD still 'cash in' {and good on them, i'll add} on the bad boy, 1% H.A. image, and today the bikes are STILL bought by H.A's, Hells Accountants, 3 piece suit in the week, bad ass mofo real biker at the weekend {summertime only}

Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Dave.. did you just flip one off.. L.O.L...
Whatever I'm sure you're right.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
