This one was almost vibration free but the throttle was so twitchy. If I wanted a HD this would be the one.  This one is the CVO or as one demo guy put it "The Cadillac" of the range 114 ci Screaming Eagle. Too much vibration.  Ugly radiator location.  Both had a "Squatty Potty" riding position. |

I was told to be gentle with the dual front discs or the bike would "pull down to the right".
Both were a nicer demo ride than the Indian Chieftain I rode a couple of months ago.

From the subject, I thought Pelosi had spent the weekend.

The above can be good bikes... just change out the motor, frame, wheels, gas tank and bags and then...  ... Bob's your uncle! -Mike  |

Britman--I am renting a Harley next month in Utah for a day of exploring Salt Lake City. Anxious to compare to the Valk. Of course the rental bike will be nothing like the dreamboat you demo'd.

Bob's your Uncle Motus.
Rider magazine did a feature on the Motus a year or so ago. Interesting but not for me. Expensive too.

And the CVO gets 30 MPG for all that extra performance.  |

But did you show up in a pirate suit with bandana, eye patch, parrot and gold tooth?  |

KJinda curious Britman what you think of the power it had, handling, etc. Still to much vibration. Hhhmm. Suppose to have 75 percent less, or at least a good deal less than previous models and a much better suspension system. They do have some problems that need worked out, or just maybe Harley thinks a 25k to 40k engine that leaks oil due to the too pour-us aluminum is a good idea. And there are other problems. My Harley mechanic said give them 2 years before thinking about buying. Sure does look good though.

Britman, I am also curious about your impressions of the bike. Popeye |
