I bought a new Softail Crossbones last year, after 6 years on an rc51 and cbr1000rr. I am definately not sorry. That street glide is sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxy.

I see you also opted for the wheel upgrade to spokes...
What other bikes do you have if any?

I hadn't seen your bike in person until this past weekend at bike week. It is sooooo much better looking than I had given it credit for. I really dig it.

03-11-2009, 11:30 AM
Nightrods are UBER SWEET. But if you are use to a cruiser you won't like it. Its a mid way point from a sportbike to cruiser... very forward feel but with your feet in front on the forward controls. That would be the hardest part for a sportbike rider to get use to. I know it was for me on the chop

Though it's likely I'd never get one myself because I'm going to ride this F3 of mine until it absolutely dies on top of me not making enough to afford any kind of new bike. But I was kind of pissed that for a bit only Europe was going to get it.

For a Harley it's pretty reasonably priced....less than $12,000.

Well for me a Ninja 250 is out of my price range. I have a paid off bike and I hope it survives for 2-3 more years. Once I get through school I might get a new one. But probably a litre or hyperbike just for straight line fun.
