The '14 was an excellent bike, kept it 4 years until I road one of these, a '18 Heritage Softail Classic 114, traded and never looked back, at last a real motorcycle in all respects that happens to be a HD.

All great bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also wanted another Busa. I am 61 but it is a blast to ride.
another beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
