Oh... an actual road test!  Some HD forum did a chalk talk comparo of the 1100S vs that HD... not really a fair fight IMO... but now I'm gonna read that head to head....
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

That reads almost exactly what I read in one of the pubs I subscribe to, cannot remeber which one. Anyway I thought it was kind of a dumb test, 2 totaly different types of bikes IMHO. I plan on adding the HD to my inventory to replace the 01' Sportcruiser, assuming the test ride in Daytona goes okay. A better review would have been up against a Hammer, Warrior or something like that. - Gene
