I've been blessed by the local motorcycle shops to test ride their motorcycles so I can present them to you. I'll ride anything at least once if given the opportunity even though I am a Harley guy. Also, I'm a firm believer that if you are on 2 wheels you deserve respect. Doesn't matter what you ride just as long as you are riding that is very cool.
Beautiful bike 🏍️ , Beautiful background story on your good friend Randy. Glad to hear 👂 his son got one of his bikes. And glad to hear & see that you got to ride it. I personally just bought a brand new Honda Fury & love it.
I have a 2007 shadow 600. Great starter bike but for one exception. It's got a 4 speed. That means it's SHOCKINGLY BAD on the highway. You're a hazard who can't get out of his own way and when you do, you're maxing it out. I think the engineer who decided on the 4 speed costed honda A LOT OF MONEY and a few lives along the way. I think he should be drummed out of the industry and black-balled from motorcycle design. There is no good reason to hold out on a 5 speed. Heck the 4 is probably more expensive. Nobody wants one. You are going to need at least a 40 tooth rear sprocket to get up to 75 or 80. If it can't get on the highway, what are you doing selling it in America and calling it street legal? Most driving is on freeways.
I live in East Troy Wisconsin. I bought a 2023 Pursuit Dark Horse Premium from Indian Motorcycle of Metro Milwaukee. Let me know if you ever wanna meet up!
We got a 23 Freewheeler(Vivid Black) last year, Just before the RG3’s came out. You’re correct on the customization part, and all it takes is money LOL. We’ve updated all lights to LED’s (Custom Dynamics) along with their Magic strobe for brake lights. A windshield was what I also wanted. Just put on a new Mustang seat, and there’s other things we want to do but we can wait for those. I was away from 2 wheels since the early 90’s and it was actually my wife that helped me make up my mind(bad knees, and back at 72 changed my mind) on the trike. We love it, and as the steering goes there’s no problems at all. As for curves I never outride my capabilities, or the trikes. Great video, and thanks for bringing more trikes to the fore.
Man oh man.. could hear the engine better with the clutch level out and giving it fuel... maybe even down shift give it a try ? Interesting concept... mt-07 was easier to drive ? A little. What does that mean I wonder what he meant. That being said out of his element. I dont have any videos out and it was nice to get a fresh set of eyes since I work at a cf dealer and I'm going to get a left over for a smoking deal so I was interested in what he would think. What every one thinks really. Some people can't see past the cf ... so their feed back is useless. But this is decent.
I just bought one like it 2012, and I love the ride on it, it does have alot of features, I just haven't figured out the side saddle bags, the back trunk holds it from opening, I haven't read manual yet, and also I wish it was able to remove the back trunk in and off easily, but I love the bike to just cruise, I have a sportster to but I like the comfort of bike for cruising a little more
I’m not a fan of the cholo. I think it’s one of the most ridiculous looking styles I’ve ever seen in the custom bike building community. I can’t wait until this style fades out just like the Orange County Chopper styles did.
@@ekimandersom4478 it’s just another stupid flavor of the month like Orange County Choppers! It will be out of style soon enough! Real bikers don’t ride that silly stuff anyway.
@@ekimandersom4478 what style? What modification? It’s just a bunch of chinese chrome bolt on parts! It doesn’t matter, cholo style is crap too. You couldn’t ride those clown bikes on a road trip. Just useless!
I ride a 2016 Indian Roadmaster and have installed the Rinehart 4" slip-ons and a High-Flow air cleaner... Love the sound of the Rinehart slip-ons and have a bit more power too. Thanks for sharing. I removed the large luggage rack off the back and replaced the large seat with a Ultimate Seats solo seat. I also removed the lower front fairings. I have absolutely no rattling or noise from my front wind shield. There is a way to remove the rattling if it occurs on your Indian. My bike is now a true bagger!
They're great bikes. Had one about 30 years ago. I think it's a great bike for a beginner. It really is. It's low powered,light, low, easy to balance, and reliable. Perfect non-intimidating bike for a new rider. I wasn't too new of a rider when I got mine, but I hadn't ridden in several years and wanted to ease back in. It was great fun for the year I had it. Next bike was a Harley Softail. Talk about a huge step up! Lol But I had fun on that little girl until one day, it felt way too small and I began my 25+ yr Harley riding career. I've took another pause from riding (wife didn't dig the the danger). Got back into riding last year and have a Kawi z900rs café. It's fast nimble and nostalgic. Love it! Hope to get another Harley bagger before too long. Prob a used Road Glide. FWIW, I'm only 5'5" so that made me feel that much more comfortable with its size.
I have one with 1000 miles on it by far it’s my favourite Harley that I’ve ever owned. I have probably owned over 25 Harley Davidson’s this one does everything just right! It’s a timeless design, it honours Harley Davidson’s lineage, it will do nothing, but go up in value! The 110, CVO motor is probably the best engine that Harley has ever produced, Definitely a keeper Michael Michael, motorcycle
Yea I'm a triker and love the hell out of it it's 1996 Electraglide ultra classic with Frankenstein trike conversion it is bad ass haha it's in Frankenstein pic on the www stotts trike ! My knees r shot so don't think I can handle conventional bike , the trike does it for me even if my knees were good I would still ride the trike it rides like on rails even in the rain is not scary. Get behind the window and go chase that rain storm believe cover it's incredible ride
