That thing looks like the Bat-cycle. You would have to wear a cape when you rode it.
I’m doing orientation at my new hospital job this week and a woman from Louisiana Organ Procurement spoke to my group yesterday. When she was done, she walked up to where I was sitting, tapped on my motorcycle helmet that was sitting on the table, and said “I really hope you wear this when you’re riding your ‘organ-donor-cycle’”. Which sounds way less cool that “Bat-cycle,” but, you know, whatever.

I’m with you as far as bikes are concerned. I lust after them, but I know I’d kill myself. So sad as it is, I simply admire from afar and live vicariously through the throbbing, muscled hunks who ride them.

I wish they would have found a way to make ALL the parts on the bike matte black. Get rid of ALL The chrome I say… its environmentally bad anyway.
Oh, and I so cannot see you on that bike.

Great looking bike. And you wouldn’t have to worry about killing yourself on it, since Harley’s constantly break down.

I also loved this bike when it first came out and had to buy one. I did. I love it. After growing up riding bikes this is one of the best I have ever owned or driven. It is not perfect, but it is close. The power is great, not to low, not too high. The 120HP is just right. They got the engine right on this one. It is smooth and powerful and once you get above 1000 RPM it does not lug. The trans is good, with each gear having a real purpose, not like its cousin the Magna. This is a Magna on steriods - good ones. It handles well, not like a crotch rocket with high revs. It is smooth. A short person can sit and have their feet touch the ground by lowering the shocks, but it needs to go down 1-2 more inches for some shorter people under 5′5”. The seat is okay, but not great for long rides. Replace the seet with the wide one in the HD catalog. The handle bars are okay for short rides, replace it with the comfort reach bars by HD. The pegs are small, replace them at HD (all six of them). The HD windshield is a waste of time and money and engineering. Toss it in the trash first thing and replace it. You will have to make your own from one of the after-market suppliers by routing out the opening in the lower end to make room for the light flairing. Will someone please, please, please make one for the night rod that fits and is deisgned for over the road and more than a few miles? The 2006 gas tank sucks, you get about 145 miles before you have to fill up again if you are careful. The 2007 has a larger tank. HD does not offer a replacement task for the 06, but you can get one on the web. Plan two full days to install it and don’t plan to be in a hurry along the path, and don’t try this is you are not a skilled individual that understands the problems and headaches of taking apart the entire rear end of a bike. New hand grips help, but are not necessary. All in all, this is a great bike with minor problems as noted above. This is still my bike of choice, except I wish I had waited 12 months and got the 2007 model with the lager gas tank. My best to all, Nick in Wisconsin.
