Oh that's good. Obvious fanboy is obvious.

Using the heel shifter will take a little getting use to and what the shifting speeds are but so-far-so-good.

Nice cruiser and nice color!! Please post a little review of it as well when you have time. Have you started a motorcycle blog for it in our motorcycle blog forum?

So far I am really liking this bike. Lots of pep to it. I have to be careful as I look down and find I am doing 70 without even trying. As I stated it does handle the turns very well compared to my 650. Being a heavier bike the wind doesn’t bother me as much also. My first fill up got me 52.15 mpg which I also like with the price of gas today. They advertise 45 mpg so I hope I keep beating that number. I added a new set of saddlebags since my last post too. So far I have found nothing I dislike about this bike.

That's great! It certainly sounds like you made a great choice!
