so, after taking a spin on ye ole'maxy, I have these first impressions:
very good suspension/brakes... 4 piston nissins, IIRC. considering the bulk of it, she could scrub off the speed like no harley I've ridden, and w/o the front end diving on me.
ergos were nice, very standard seating pos'n, mid-sets, clutch pull was quite heavy (vs. stock coffins or the goldlines/evo slave I got now)
you have to kind of wrestle her on initial turn-in, but otherwise corners well. hasty throttle on exits lends to a squirrely front end, so I learned quick not to do so.
straight line... wowee was that ever fun. it certainly didn't feel crotch rocket quick, but the sensation of acceleration on that bike reminded me of when you see the Enterprise jump to warp speed. like the bike sucks you in and stretches you out, if that makes any sense.
it needs louder pipes and some drag bars.
but I'd definitely have one as my cruiser bike.
oh, and charlie really liked the duc.
