Ive put about 400 on it so far and Im already totally been turned against my old bike, which I still own. I dont want to have to ever go to another bike, except perhaps another HD.

Ive found this bike likes to have the clutch held in coming up to stops too, as opposed to downshifting through the gears. It lurches unless I get it well below where Id normally be in that gear.

Ill learn her. Its only been a week. The clutch is soooooo much better than any other bike Ive had though. The friction area is so easy to feel.

Transmissions are a couple grand. Brake pads are $50. Dont downshif to slow down, use the brakes.
