Remember folks, the OP is the one that proudly was bragging he rides at the blazing speed of 5 mph over the speed limit. And legitimately thinks that's fast. Plus wondered why he was being passed.
Just saying. Gramps.

Is this what it's come to? A bunch of little old ladies freaking out about the way a biker rides in a Harley commercial? How many people HAVEN'T rode their bike like that at one time or another? It's reality. I see Jap bike riders doing worse all the time, making HD riders look like Geritol sucking, complaining, grey old farts. I don't blame them for going after the youth market, and the Sport is a nice bike.
Just my .02 but I don't think the "street" bike would look very "cool" in a commercial just cruising at 65mph down a straight open country road with the sun shining and animals stopping to look at what's coming.
Regarding the commercial, it is a commercial.

Outside of the alleys, that looks like my morning commute when i ride in, especially on my sportster. When i lived in Baltimore, i went a little slower through alleys.... Didnt want my bike get high or getting diseases from the needles and crap.
i even do it on the lummox:
Foolishness
i think they were just trying to show how nimble the bike is and that it works well in the city, which it does. Nice little bike that will shame a 1200.

Can you imagine how boring THAT commercial would be?

As much as I don't like those two wheeled sewing machines, apparently they sell well in places like India.

That is how you drive in a City, saw nothing unsafe or crazy. And they way he parked utilizing the sidewalk is exactly they way I do it if the curb cuts as depicted are available. Way better then stopping in traffic and backing up. No problems on my end.

No it isnt. It's a little liquid cooled animal. It will run with a stock 1200, no problems. Go test ride on, you'll probably be surprised by it... once you get past the funky ergos.
