^^^^ That's what it's about, right there. Hauling *** and throwing down in the twisties on a big piece of iron. I rode Ninjas for a long time and have quite a bit of track experience but I honestly have more fun on my Harley going fast through a sweeper. Guess its cause we are doing things with them we "aren't supposed to do" or most people don't do.

I know these HD's can't REALLY hang with sport bikes, but it's fun to push them as hard or as far as you can just to make them smile a little bit. It's fun when you're hitting twisties or lane splitting and Sport bike rider is all tucked in tight in that "aerodynamic" position and they look back and see you sitting upright relaxed and comfortable keeeping up just fine. Something about pushing a big, heavy clunky machine to it's limits and making it do stuff ya not supposed to do that's satisfying. ANYONE can can rip around on a sport bike, but not everyone can hit twisties hard at 70-90 or lane split at high speeds on a heavy cruiser.

Going to use your video as an example - hope you don't mind Sir
=====================
To those who have a "vibration"
EW is running triple digits - and except for the road induced vibration.., which is normal - there is none
None in the bars.., nothing unusual in the bike..., no handling issues..., mirrors solid and usable
Any "vibration"..., beyond what is occurring in EW's video - flat *** straight up - your bike is not set up properly..., and/or - in need of maintenance
================
Consider this a vibration PSA..., for those experiencing some..., and wondering what is normal
