Advice ? Looking at a '12 Switchback tomorrow
 
The Switchback has my interest. I also have a fist full of dollars that are starting to burn.
May have to get a Switchback.
Currently I ride a 1200 Sportster and an 1100 BMW. Hoping the Switchback will fill the void between these two.
Ideas?
Concerns?

Thanks

It is like the HD stepchild. Okay for most things but not great at any. This just based on what a few fellow rider/owners have told me.

Buy it! You will not be disappointed.

I have a 12 dyna. Great bike, plenty comfy for me long distance, and great to just rip around town. Most all the issues were ironed out of the twin cam by then.

Go for it if you dig the bike.

Edit; also a night and day difference between the dyna and my xl1200c i had before it.

2012 103s had weak compensators. I had to replace mine at 114k miles. Listen for clattering when you start the engine.

I am assuming you meant 14,000.


Because if it was at 114,000, then shut up. :D

To clarify . . .
14,000 or 114,000?

This bike I'm looking at has about 10k. Could be an issue...
Thx!

It was 14k miles. I can’t edit it.

I have a 13 and Love it! I'm 73 and have a hard time with 900# Motorcycles. The Switchback is 700# and feels like 500#. Its Nimble and Great on the Highway!
