    My wife absolutely loves this bike. Went from a HD Nightster to this and calls it a women's touring HD. At over a 100 pounds less than a RK with the 103 motor it scoots great. Anyone looking at this bike at a less weighted alternative to the original "Touring" crew will not be disappointed

    I purchased the motorcycle in December of 2012. It was a christmas present from my wife. Nice wife HUH!

    This motorcycle was a replacement for my 1993 Dyna Low rider. I have only traveled a total of ~3000 miles with no issues at present and the bags and windshield are a great addition to ...

    I would greatly reccommed this motorcycle to anyone wishing to move into the bagger type of motorcycle from any other platform.

    This is the most enjoyable bike I have ever riden. Last two bike include a 2005 1200R Sportster, and 2006 Night Rod.

    I can ride twice as long before resting, and if I decide to modify the entire bike, the possibilities are endless.
