  • Very pleased
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 24, 2014

    I bought my 2007 1600 in May of 2013. It had 986 miles on it. It had been almost 40 years since I had ridden a motorcycle but the big Classic was easy to handle and rides real smooth. I have put over 3000 miles on it since the purchase and have no wish for any other bike.

    Ths bike supposedly has a 5.3 gallon tank yet I have only been able to use 4 gallons at a time before the light goes on and the bike actually runs out of gas. The other 1.3 gallons might be in there but they are just not making it up the tank to be of any use. A qualified mechanic has told me he ...

  • Best for Value
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 14, 2010

    I have been riding this superb motorcycle since October of 2007 and have logged over 20,000 exhilarating miles. Maintenance is user-friendly and trouble-free. I love its clean shaft drive that does not splatter chain lube all over nor does not risk snapping belt drives. The beefy front tires with ...

    A real treat for those who do their homework and want more value for money.
