He actually doesn't have his moto license yet, so I was taking it someplace for him.
I also recently test rode the iron 883 and street glide.
The 1200 is much lighter and more maneuverable than the street glide.
I think Harley has made a lot of progress recently. The suspension and fueling on this 1200 were pretty good.
Shifting still feels like driving a tractor.
I have to say, Harley knows how to paint a motorcycle. The paint is gorgeous.
They also just introduced a new bike, the Street Rod, no relation to the prior bike by that name.
The new street rod is a hot rod version of the fairly boring street 750. The street rod is a good looking bike, actually very similar to the nc700, though marketed to a totally different audience. (The market for the street rod is obviously young urban hipsters.)
All these HDs make me appreciate the build quality and smoothness of the Honda.
