I like the long and low look better than the tall spindly look. I actually took one of those type out once, strange steering, kind flops into a corner, makes you want to put a leg out to hold it up. Once straightened out though they're kinda cool to goose with the big twin.
Couldn't agree more. The original Swedish style bikes were cool because they were still stubby & actually steered well. Then... leave it up to Americans, POOF big giant cookie cutter bikes painted like easter eggs, made with parts from Asia. WTF?
As far as this bike goes, yes flops big time at slow speed. It would be a little tuff to set rake & trail on a bike that could roll under a dining table with 52deg. rake.
But MAN does it ride well over 20. It has an actuator on the clutch so you can set at a stop in gear with no clutch on like an automatic car (very cool). I know this style isn't for everybody, especially this group, but if anyone can ride this & not say they didn't feel pretty damn cool on it is full of crap. It's like dating a super model...Ya' don't ask her her IQ.
