		Selected this bike for a German/Austrian<br /><br />
Alps tour over H-D on recommendation of the tour company.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Surprised at the comfort (riding two up), handling and overall performance.  We had plenty of narrow twisties and hairpen turns and all the while my wife was never nervous (where on my H-D Road Gli<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">de she would be clinging on).  Cornering and acceleration impressive.  Brakes much more responsive than H-D (I own two H-Ds and often rent them on trips).<br />
<br />
Upon return she had no problem with me trading one H-D for the RT.<br />
