With a more standard riding position than most other Harleys, and a power-to-weight ratio better than the rest, this bike makes a fun and fast back road cruiser, and I mean fast completely stock.

With a more standard riding position than most other Harleys, and a power-to-weight ratio better than the rest, this bike makes a fun and fast back road cruiser, and I mean fast completely stock. This bike is controllable and comfortable on all day rides, but a little light if you travel long-range on the Interstate. Put the optional Harley touring seat on if you take a passenger. It is dependable and solid, and this SPORT model (1200S) is not a girls bike, just ask all the other Harley riders I keep passing. The front and rear suspension are three-way adjustable, but need more travel in the rear (watch those bumps when two up). I am a dual-sport rider, a classic road bike collector, and have been in the saddle for over 31 years, and this bike is a real fun 'Harley Davidson' back road gun!

I rode H.D. for 14 yrs. but in 1971 a sportster & 72 an electra-glide bought new. I was so turned off with the lack of quality I went to BMW & jap bikes. 84 Aspencade did everything and did it well but in 96 I hit a deer so the next day I bought the 96 Shrine FLHTCUI. Nice ride love the FI. but this is not an around town bike. They run very hot--I was using Mobil#1 oil. I feel H.D. sells all they make but they have some very strong competition. I think that liquid cooling is where it's at. But as you can see some of the manufacturers have taken a step back to air-cooled push rod design engines! The H.D. was very G. but so was the knuckle, & the pan & the shovel so does this mean the evo will soon become one of the above?
