I looked up the HP, weight and torque numbers of my old 80's bikes. the GS1150 being probably the bike from my past I would want to ride now. 525 pounds, 125HP. That's in Fat Bob territory,
The 114 in black denim. I put Vance and Hines slip ons, cruise control and a removable windshield. I don't like the look of the windshield, but I think I may like the functionality..
Serious bummer man, nothing like getting the run around to ruin what should be a great experience. Really dig the Triumph, very sexy! I can't wait to see what you do with a Low Rider S!
Don't let them grind you down, I hope you find a dealer that will treat you with the respect any new customer deserves. As everyone knows the market is red hot, and even a marginal dealer can "afford" to be a jerk and still sell their entire allocation. My opinion (I know,not asked for) would be to shop first for a dealer you want to do business with, establish some rapport then get down to business.
Congrats on the new bike. It looks like a good balance of looks and performance (although I prefer my Fatboy). Speaking as someone who went from a ZX14R to a Road King, I can say that the aging process will modify the attributes you seek in a motorcycle.
BTW, if I had a nickel for every time someone predicts HD's demise, I would be able to afford another Harley...
You like chrome cause you bought a denali. you like style because you bought porsches. Buy the 2021 Fatboy. You wont get tired of looking at it with that big back tire. its got chrome and the 114. If you want to pick up a few things put a detacheble backrest and rack on it to tie a bag too. Its a awesome ride around town, short trips thru the countryside.
