Advantages: Superb - Everything

Disadvantages: Need a winter bike to save on cleaning all the time in the cold!, Don't get a Harley if you don't like being noticed

Having originally placed an order for a heritage softail classic, I finally chaged my mind and took delivery of a black/silver anniversary Wide Glide on April 18th and what a brilliant decision it has turned out to be.

Definately a younger mans motorcycle than the stock heritage (I'm not 40 yet!) and despite the popular misconceptions, the light front end, means that it corners very well, only limited by ground clearance.

Various pillions with experience of japanese cruisers always comment on how smooth and comfortable she is!

I've covered just over 4000 trouble free miles so far, without going anywahere of note, and will take the first overseas trip next year.

Had a full stage 1 and dynojet done and screamin Eagles before delivery and with a few extra goodies, I couldn't have made a better choice.

In terms of performance it exceeds the speed limit with ease (Off road of course) and the limit of grip (without removable screen) is exceeded before performace of the bike.

With service loaners etc I have now ridden a softail - also nice and a V-rod - Very different, but wouldn't swap this for anything - Absolutely the right choice for me.

I hope this helps anyone looking for objective information, as I found comparisons between Harleys difficult to obtain before making the decision.
