Is it better than an fxr
-
First Harley I've ever ridden, I've had tons of bikes of all descriptions and after test riding this one (did any of you commenting?), I bought it.
One guy mentions "Engineering and technology", OK hows this?
- Self canceling indicators, knows when to stay on and when to switch off, better than Hondas.
- The best ABS I've ever used, does it's thing and you don't even feel or notice it. No big ring on the wheel it's all hidden in the hub, nice touch.
- Brilliant cruise control, intuitive and the button's in exactly the right place. You can blast an overtake and it automatically resumes.
- Alarm that doesn't go off on a windy day. You can also disable it if you want.
- Keyless ignition, just get on and hit the starter button, that's it. When you stop, just hit the kill switch, get off the bike and walk away and it goes "cheep cheep", cool as f***. If the fob dies and you don't have a spare battery, you can just put in a code, they even give you a card for your wallet with instructions.
- Trip computer tells you gear position indicator and miles remaining.
- Gets nearly 200 miles to a tank courtesy of 55 (UK) mpg, despite immediate pick up that takes off like a scalded cat (this isn't grandpas tourer).
- Lovely smooth tractable power (a little lean, but what isn't these days?).
- Rides like a much lighter bike, turns in and changes direction composed and quickly, even U-Turns and filtering in town, easy peasy. Suspension feels compliant, but totally planted and doesn't dive under braking. You can properly spank this thing about.
- The little fairing actually does something and because the seating position is so low the profile of the bike cuts a lot of the wind, even at 70+mph.
- The optional daymaker LED headlight is the best single headlight on any bike I've ever ridden. (As good, if not better than my Tiger 800 twin setup)
- Overall build and attention to detail , quality (I've owned 2 Ducatis, this is on par). All in all, just a great all round bike.
Aside from all that though, how do I put this? Everything about this bike is an event. For instance starting it, is like electrocuting Frankensteins monster. It's legit and it's the reason anyone rides a bike, FUN, it's an absolute blast. I dare you to ride this bike and pretend you don't love it, because you would. -
what a joke just another hd bullshit commercial

S.O.A.

who is this John Davis wannabe? I thought this was motorweek for a sec.

On what planet is any HD bike best in class?
-
"...with all its fine engineering and technology..." Wait, what?
