Took one out while I was waiting for some work to be done on my Scooter. Only rode it about 50 miles and gotta say it was a nice ride. Handles better then my springer at low speed and very smooth with virtually no vibration above an idle.
Wind was blowing about 35MPH with gusts around 45 and I didn't notice it near as much as I do on my Softail.
Suspension was no where near a smooth as my Softail which kind of surprised me. Was also surprise by the quick throttle response to the "fly by wire".
Overall an impressive ride but don't think I'll be trading my Springer any time soon.
Both the springer, and the roady are great bikes.... just different seats for different butts..... it would be a boring world, if we all liked the same....
