Nice review, as always, Radar. Not my kind of thing though.

Cheers Kat. I was trying to look at it from the perspective of somebody who would be looking for this sort of bike and if you did it certainly stands comparison with the comparable Harley Davidson models like the Road King (I think). I prefer the more stripped back look personally like Thumper’s Dyna Harley of the Scout 1200 Indian I also tried recently (reviews of both elsewhere in this section)

More stripped back the better I like ’em, too….

After nearly T-boneing the bank at the top of my drive on that Ultraglide ‘cos I couldn’t turn in time (those running boards don’t agree with 90degree uphill turns!) I now want to try out a minimalist American machine.

The engine was lovely!

I really enjoyed riding a bike that was a little bit away from the norm for me

Likewise: that Harley was a blast on gently weaving country A roads (‘though I’m much too young to consider buying one!!  ).
