It's 'softer' - the clutch takes less effort, the gearshift 'snicks' instead of 'clunks' and any limp-wristed faggot can lock up the front brake on a Jappa.
Just take it easy on everything for the first few km..

Be careful with the throttle for a while
I guess the biggest issue will be when you stop - I don't know how short or tall you are

I'm only 5'3". My bike is a custom which has been lowered in the rear end.

Thanks for that. Sounds like good advice.

Just take it easy until you get the feel of it.
Crack the throttle wide open too early in a corner and you'll know all about it. Likewise if you suddenly decide to grab a big handful of front brake, and don't rev the engine and then dump the clutch. Commonsense stuff.
Other than that, if learnt to ride on a Harley, and you ride it well, you'll more than cope.
In fact you'll probably find the Yammy very clinical and boring.
Just like a great big overpowered sewing machine.

That should be a good start.

Well summed up, that man.

This man speaks the truth. Rev it higher, take it easy on the clutch (it'll feel way light). You'll be OK. Oh and fer gods sake don't rubbish it to him when your done. He probably feels the same way about it that you do about your harley.
Let us know how you get on.

why the hell doesn't he get one of his mates to ride it? Does he have mates that ride jappers with him? Surely......he must have.
or....he could put on a girly type disguise and ride it himself with your licence in his pocket?

So why don't you just sell it because he will have to start from scratch in 2 years time. So it will be another 2 years after that before he can ride it legally anyway. You can use the money from the bike for a kick ass 250.

Watch out for the brakes, If you just grab a big handful like you do on a Harley you will most probably crash. And don't wring its neck coming out of corners.
Brakes on HD's really do suck.
Weekend cruiser
Yea so I found out over the weekend.
I'd go with the advice everyone has given you about the brakes and watchin ya throttle coming outta corners, after spending all my time on jappas and now owning my first Harley they are completely different in handling.
But in sayin that your either grabbing a handle full of brakes or ripping back on the throttle so it seems to work.:
