Purchasing HD for driving in Athens Greece

I am a bit concerned as to the easy and quick steering of HD + how fast I can stop. I have been thinking of buying Softail Slim S with air cooled Twin Cam 110B with abs - any feedback on this guys? I have driven smaller motorbikes in Athens traffic for some years (Yamaha Dragstar 400) and I am 5f 11 female

Any advice more than welcome

Have you looked at the Low Rider S? That may be a better bet as far as quick steering and stopping.

What you're gonna need is a small/light and nimble bike with good stopping/braking capabilities that can also withstand very high summer temperatures in stop-and-go city traffic. These are a few specs that don't go along too we'll with a Harley in general or with a Slim S in particular, just my .02.

You might want to look for a light, water-cooled bike with good brakes that handles well...

Although it's not a classic Harley, the Street 600 and 750 are built for what you described. Nimble, light, water cooled engine.....Should fit your needs.
