Good Points

Handling is fantastic. Torque is unbelievable. But it is the handling that gets me. I have had other cruisers before, but they were (and probably still are) pigs to handle. One, I could only ride with a passenger, but this bike, I just love throwing around corners and showing off. Show boating, I never thought I would be able to do this on a cruiser, I love going around and around roundabouts.


Bad Points

Seat, but you get used to it. Front lights in the desert at night. Can't see far enough in front, so now I just don't ride at night, outside cities or towns, if I can help it.


General Comments

Gorgeous for long long cruises. I went from Windhoek to Upington in one day, it was fantastic. Great bike for somebody as tall as me (6'6"). I even took this bike on dirt tracks to Isandlwana, managed to get to the top of an escarpment on a rocky track. Luckily I found another way down. BTW, I am a Brit, and bought the bike in Cornwall and had it shopped down to SA. Now, I have decided to stay so I am re-registering it. I have to go to Lesthoto next, then Swaziland, and Mozambique. Some many places to go and see, and only one man and his bike.
