First ride today on the train, cold and short ride; man I need some chaps. I know now without a doubt the old sportster will go up for sale, this bike is awesome. Just went on country roads and a short stretch of high-speed to get a feel for the bike. It feels very comfortable in the turns and highway performance is everything I hoped for.
I was given the impression that I may want to keep the sporty for running the back roads, I don’t run high speed scraping the pegs stuff anyway and the train felt great. I love that sporty but me thinks it needs a new home.

 

Congrats man... I love my train also!

 

Here's to the first of many....Congrats on the new Train.

 

Good luck with the new trin. I love mine and I push it pretty hard on the twisty back roads.

 

They are sweet aren't they

 

nice bike!! trains are sweet!! you sure about those chaps?? lol

 

On your next front tire, if you don't already have it, try an Dunlop Elite 3. It's light years ahead of the stock Dunlop. I've never tried one but a lot of people that have are saying they're better than the Metzelers.

Really gives the bike a sure footed feeling and the grooves just disappear somehow.

 

I actually prefer the handling of a softail over the sporty. After I bought my FB, I never looked back.

Shakey

 

congrats, and i definatly would have missed out on alot of riding this winter with out my chaps !

 

nice choice!! like the color too. peg scraping is just as easy on the nt as it is on the sportster....
