Great looking bike! I like it with no pinstriping and the shark nose looks better and better every time I look at one.

I live in Germany, and ordered one through the Military Auto Sales. '17 SGS. I won't be taking delivery until March. They couldn't get it here before winter, and I really don't want to deal with getting it from port to my house in the dead of winter in Bavaria. Gonna be a long wait.....

According to IMFDB, that is false.
"To better familiarize himself with the weapon's handling and recoil, Eastwood took one to a gun range and fired live rounds through it. Unlike the gun in the script, the only barrels acquired for the guns in this film were the 8 3/8" barrel and the 6 1/2" barrel. Both can be seen used in some scenes"

Another not known fact, he shot .44 Specials. Not Mags.

44 special is not much better than a 45 acp.. 240 gr at 920 fps .. 45 ACP is 230 gr at 875.. Still the gun rise in the video and sound makes it sound like the magnum.. When he says this is the most power handgun made, surely think he wasn't talkin' 44 specials..

It was a matter of time it was after work and getting late so I decided not to test ride I am assuming it will be at least as good as my 14 and again the big reason for the change for me was the Hydraulic clutch, tired of adjusting mine and I try to trade every 2-3 years as I ride a good number of miles. I do not get the extended warranty so in my feeble mind it somewhat offsets the cost. Just not getting the ESP on my last three bikes has saved me over $8,000
