If you're gonna buy the Switchhitter, make sure you get the Mary Kay version. Then ride it with assless chaps with nothing underneath.

I never seen one until I seen this thread so I pulled up the H-D site and took a look. Not a bad looking scooter and it should fill a nitch pretty well. they did the fit pretty well on it, the bags seem to work well with the fender etc, the exposed shocks looks good also. Much better looking then any of the Victory line up. Would be a more affordable way for someone to get into a bagger of some sort.

The 103 in a dyna will be a hit for sure. Not sure if I would want my wife on one though. She would be miles ahead of me and I would be trying to play catchup all the time or I would have to sink a ton of money into mine just to keep up to a dyna with a 103 in it.

Do you really think the guys on touring Harleys got them to race? If so, that would be pretty dumb, so I'm guessing they aren't riding around thinking about how fast they are.

Well, that was not my experience this past Sunday. I got behind a guy on bagger that was not gonna let me catch up. Got up to 90 on a back road and then I conceded the victory to him. So you never know.

I always get a kick out of these kind of threads... such a strong expression of opinions.

I kinda of like it. But as far as that goes, I wouldn't mind having a bike from each of HDs lineup. (If I had a big enough garage and the cash to fill it). Well maybe not the Vrod, but then I haven't had a chance to ride one either.

Listen, Brenn; my Road King is every bit as fast as the 1972 Yamaha 125cc enduro I had as a kid!!!......I think this to myself all the time while riding!

I love the looks of the switchback. I was thinking of replacing my 03 heritage with a streetglide but this bike is looking better everytime I look at it. It just needs some passing lights
