The first Harley that I ever owned was an 09 Muscle and I really enjoyed the bike. It was a fun ride and it really turned heads. There is only one down side to the whole bike and that is when you need to replace that back tire it gets a little pricey. I never had a compliant on that bike and it ran great never any issues with the motor. BUt then I got married and now got a 2012 Street Glide for more +2 riding. Enjoy the bike and keep the dirty side down.

Sounds great! Except that pillion shouldnt really be a problem on a HD but the sportster models.

Replacing tyre with todays advanced tyres is hopefully not going to happen more often than every 3rd year or atleast for plenty of miles to come.

Just depends on how quick you want to spin them. I may have smoked a lot of that first tire off.

Iam not into that kind of agressive, instantly unleashed torque drive
I even managed to keep a good shape on the tyres on my ducati streetfighter. Which iam about to trade in for that Rod.
