The Best of Harley-Davidson for Lifelong Riders
The dealer hosting the event could have done a better job. First, on the dealer webpage, it stated that you should call the dealership and reserve the bike(s) you wanted to demo. I had been to two previous demo events and recalled you signed up at the event. Any way, I called on Tues. Person 1 at the dealer did not know anything and handed me to person number 2 who did not know anything. Person 3 told me that the guy taking the reservations (Bobby) was at lunch. So I called back after lunch and spoke to Bobby who explained that you could not sign up in advance. I asked then why did it say so on the dealer's webpage. Bobby said a new girl did that. I advised it might be wise to correct the error. FYI, I checked back on Sat and the call the dealer and reserve the bike was still on the dealer page.
I went today. According to dealer webpage, first rides were to start at 10 AM. I got there a little after 9 AM. Found out that was an error also. Rides did not start until 11 AM. Anyway, I rode the LR S twice back to back. It was only me and one other guy out on the firs two rides. I rode this bike:





It will come as no surprise that I really liked the bike. I liked the true mid-mount controls of the LR S better than the standard LR forward mid-mount controls. I also liked the solo seat more than the two-up seat of the standard LR. The LR S bars were farther forward than I would have liked but not too far forward to be a problem. I like the adjustable bars of the LR better than the drag bar of the LR S.
I liked that the LR S came with the SE intake and a small windscreen. The small windscreen provided more wind protection than I thought it would have.
I can see myself getting a LR S if no LR CVO is out. I would really love a LR CVO 117 or 120 but if not my next bike would be a LR S with the 110. I hope for 2017 the LR S offers some different paint options.
