Disappointing HD Demo
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2016 7:15 pm
I know the guys at one of the Harley shops pretty good as we buy all our Harley parts from them plus I have know him through that shop for 15 years.
He has told me a couple times in the past 2 months to just come and take the new Touring bikes for a spin with the new 107" motors.
Josh and I went today..I took an Ultra and he took a Streetglide for about 20 minutes.
The bikes have really good power and there is less vibration from the engine while riding it...a bit more refined I would say.
BUT..the suspension sucked for me and Josh noticed the harsher ride too. I had to lean quite forward rather than sitting nice and tall in the saddle as it would jar my back..I was very dissapointed.
I know my back is worse than a lot of guys but my trike is a Cadillac comparitvely and I would have thought "Touring" would bring a touring ride...not without an air ride maybe.
Anyone else demo the new stuff??
