Default Big Bear Choppers

Really like the BBC Pro Street 300 Sled. Anyone have one or know about the comfort and reliability of these bikes. This one is a softail. As per usual, you hear both sides of the coin. Trying to gather as much info as possible.

Most of my riding is under 200 miles one way. Need some real imput and info from anybody out there before I consider a purchase. I have been on their website and have talked to a local dealer as well. Just need some 3rd party info.

Thanks
Jack

Depending on how much you have to reach for the handle bars and your age will affect how far you can ride, softail or not. If your back looks like a "C" reaching for the bars and you are not in your early twenties, 200 miles is a LOOOOONG ride. Add a little cold weather and it gets longer. This is just one old man's opinion, but having customized an evo that I couldn't ride for more than an hour at a time, I ended up selling it. A guy in his thirties bought it and after a month or so ended up putting comfortable bars on it. The problem was that the bike was set up that comfortable bars looked like sh*t, and all my friends that saw it said he ruined a beautiful bike, but at least he rides it.
