RE: should i get bob??

As far as adjusting to the handling, I had only ridden dirt bikes on trails (& unpoliced roads) then for a few days I rode a 400 lb Honda 550. When my Bob was delivered I got on and drove off and there wasn't nuthin' to it.

The bride went from a Buell motored Hugger (70hp/69tq) to a 06 Bob 1400 miles in two weeks, swears it is more powerful than the Sporty and more fun to ride

Don't do it!!! It is getting harder and harder to pick my bike out of all the Bobs already on the road.

Around Dallas/Ft Worth I can honestly say I have not seen a single Bob, other than my own, outside of a dealer showroom. People must be buying them here and riding them elsewhere, cuz I know they're selling a LOT of 'em...

At the stealer here in SOCAL they stay on the floor for about 4 business days!!! When I got mine 4 other guys were buying Bobs as well. Just glad that they all chose the Flat black color!!!!

RE: should i get bob??

bob is my first harley. love it. i don't know whats going on states side but i haven't seen another bob on the road. i've been in two rally's one with 600 bikes the other with around 200 and not a bob in sight. personally i think you'd be happy with anything in the dyna line.
