They actually ride very good,plenty off line torque,a little pricey but it is an unusual ride that will certainly get you some attention.

Slow speed turns are tricky.

Goes straight and FAST!

Insurance? .....If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I used to own one with a 350 for a couple years. I used to call it my exersize bike, I wasoften walking to a gas station because I ran out of fuel, no guage. Not much range especiallysquirting around town. It was a novelty that quickly wore off, unless you arereally into seeking attention. I like my existing bike much better, quick AND practical.

They're automatic too. Rode one once. Wouldn't want to own one though.

I dont particularly care for them myself. Of course I may have a little grudge considering I took second place to one this past weekend at a bike show. I was really amazed at how many people have never seen one. Most thought it was a custom one off bike. It was mainly a car show though and that may have had something to do with it.

Went to bike nite at a local rib & blues place.
6 BH's were there.
A few even had Nitrous bottles on them.
Thought the NOS was overkill, but they got lots of attention.
1400 lbs of motorcycle.

Not a big fan either but they do sound awesome.
Now the Hoss Fly is cool, great little bar hopper.
Check this out from Sturgis last year.
