Reliability 1 to 10: 9
Reliability explained:
Have had the bike for 3 years and ridden it hard in every weather condition possible in Canada and the bike has NEVER had any engine / mechanical issues.
Performance 1 to 10: 8
Performance explained:
Had the bike up to 180kph with a full wind screen on and the bike had more to give. Have had the bike on cruise control and ridden over 12kms without touching the handle bars, the bike is solid and stable like a rock. Have loaded the bike with a passenger, 2 sleeping bags, 2 chairs, tent, clothing, etc and the bike still jumps with so much torque like it was weightless.
Comfort 1 to 10: 7
Comfort explained:
The bike is designed for someone with long arms and generally taller upper body. The bike is low enough for you to rest your feet on the ground but without a rider back-rest, and short arms you may be leaning forward a little while riding. Passenger needs a back-rest as the rear seat tends to slope backwards.
Body looks/quality 1 to 10: 9
Looks/Quality explained:
Bought the bike without even looking at it in the dealership because just the photo on the web site looked so amazing. The finish is great as is with all harleys.
Things that have gone wrong:
Nothing (touch wood).
Overall summary/Final comments about this bike:
Love this bike and see no reason to upgrade or trade to any other bike.
Would you recommend this bike to someone else? Yes
