I bought this bike new in Aug 2010. Rode it to work for the first summer. performed well in the city and was easy to manouver in traffic. Got lots of attention and compliments on the bike. Comming from a sports bike background I found the bike a little hefty to corner. I struggled a little at first but slowly gained confidence. In 2011 and 2012 I took teh bike throught the Skylie Drive, Blue Ridge Parkway and Tail of the Dragon. Never had a mechanical problem and am very comfortable on it now!!
I love this bike but wanted more torque in the mountains so I upgraded to the Screaming Eagle Stage II 103 with a Super Tuner. The bike runs like a dream now. Would recommend buying the FLSTF 103 2012 and up and changing the pipes and add super tuner... It makes for an awesome ride!!
Pros:
Classy, comfortable, reliable, fun, good in city and long touring.
Cons:
Limited lean angle, exaust too quiet, 6th gear not really usable under 105 km/hr.
