ing on because this is defiantly not like any other stock Harley-Davidson you have ever ridden. I was able to take the bike through regular city streets where it maneuvered through traffic with ease then out onto a 2 lane highway where I could get a feel as it handled twisties like a champ- this is where the all new suspension really shined. Harley- Davidson has changed the rear shock system to be adjustable with no more worries about the air suspension losing air over time. Once they are set for your preference, it will stay that way until you decide to change it.
Up front they have replaced the fork cartridges with a much higher performance set up and it feels rock solid in the turns even for this big bike. Next it was out onto the freeway to see how she felt at a higher speed. I would say that this motorcycle is a runner as it easily got up to speed as I merged onto the freeway and effortlessly rolled up to 85mph before I could back off the throttle and cruise. The entire bike just feels and sounds rock solid. If you get an opportunity to demo one of these bikes, I would highly recommend that you do so, I am confident that you will be just as impressed as I was! Make sure to bring your wallet too because you are going to want one.
