traded my sporty in for one, corners better than my sporty in my opinion, rides great, smooooth, although the front brakes leave a little to be desired. have to squeeze in all the way unlike my sportster which stopped on a dime.

Just a heads up if you're near Columbus Ohio, A.D. Farrows in Delaware has red in stock, and will be getting black and silver in the next couple weeks. I stopped in on Thursday to look at the Switchback and one of the dealers let me know. I really like this bike for the size, and I really like how it looks without the windshield and bags (not that it looks bad with both on). Also the dealer pointed out there is a cruise control icon on the speedo, just right of the odometer, indicating that may be an option in the future.

Test drove one at the local demo days last weekend. Exactly what I expected - it's a Dyna with a touring front end and hard bags. It did handle rather nice over the bumps. It's not a bad bike at all and I really like the looks of it. There's for sure a place for it in the line up.
