As for the $price, yeah it tends to cost more. Someday when it is inevitably sold, it will also sell for more than the cheaper alternatives. There's two sides to the $ownership. The H-D also offers ABS, six speed trannies, Brembo braking, throttle by wire, slipper clutches (V-Rod), etc. The list is short of the metric cruising competition offering just a portion of the same. The Milwaukee bike has probably been the most reliable two wheeled thang I've had in the barn over the years.
From last week. A red denim matte finish to ride hard and not be prissy about.
Those clouds in the distance soon turned very moody and dark. Took this pic, made an about face, gunned the bike and watched my mirrors as the storm gave pursuit. It dropped a rare mountain tornado moments later behind me that tore through some nearby pines off to the right.

Good to hear you check in. You are a man of good opinion! Got the stats and resume to back it up for sure.

And the bigger rear wheel plus the intergrated tail lights in the fender. Which I hope they make a all red version for aftermarket.

I think the muscle should be the night rod. Just like I think the 883 Iron motor should be on the Nightster.
