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 .
