Default solved, massive harley dilemma!

Hi to you all, when we posted our dilemma we knew we would get a response but we didn't realise how much, thanks to you all the dilemma no longer exists,i am slightly concerned over the weight issue,could i handle it ?,with it being my first bike etc, but with a little care i'm sure that won't be too much of a problem, anyway,after reading everthing you all had to say i'm definitely getting the bike i always wanted, deep down i knew i always would,its just very reassuring to hear from real people like yourselves who can give an educated opinion, based on their experiences on harleys and other brands .Once again a massive thanks to all you good people who took the time to respond to my problem,CHEERS!

The weight is nothing.
The bikes are very well balanced. Once you are moving, you wont even think about it.

Enjoy your new bike and be sure to post pictures when you get it.

In my opinion the only time that weight really matters on a bike is if it starts to go over. So just keep it balanced, kinda like a bicycle and you'll be fine.
