The Harley dealer in Frejus told me both models were sold out and neither was available till October. Same for Rocker. Same for UK.

BTW the price is at least 25% higher in France than the UK.

I'm picking up my Cross Bones on Fri in Lewes, Sussex.

tu seras mieux assis sur le crossbones. En plus, le moteur est fixe au frame, donc ca fait une ride plus balancee. J'ai un Fatboy et j'aime beaucoup mon bicyk.

For Paris you want a scooter or moped. Don't get a harley...it will get stolen.. If your still considering, Then make sure you measure your parking space and make your decision based on what will fit...

Get the Crossbones. The Fat Bob looks like a half dozen other bikes in the Harley line-up. Crossbones is unique.

I am admittedly biased, but I think the X-Bones does really well in traffic and congested areas. At least sitting high lets you see whats happening ahead more easily.

Thats actually funny

however it was kinda a dikheadish comment on a guy who has a common interest in American bikes and came here for legit advice on motorcycles.... not on a war or how they tuck tail when the shat hits the fan and what not
