NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Must admit, mark, that's what I thought but I'm glad I tried one. Just ride it like it's designed for and it's Ok . when in the usa last year i did 2.5k in 2weeks on an indian chief vintage and it was the comfiest bike I've ridden. Awful in san Francisco but once out of town i can't really think of anything better. Bit different over here though with our congested road they won't be very nice
Fair comment - I have tried a Sportster (few years back) and a Buell Lightening (which I liked) - but for my Kroozin' I ride my Trumpet - comfy, slow, slightly loud & fun
I just don't like the genre & associated style/aesthetics. Why not go for an older proper HD (pre 80's) which hasn't had the "noise & soul" engineered back in?
I suppose one day, when I'm real old, it may be an option to consider.
