Saw one of these yesterday, and really didn't want to like it......but slung my leg over it and it just felt 'Right'. Would have to change the horrible pipes and bin a few of the plastic bits - but I liked it a bit to much

Did you get to hear it JT? just wondered if it had a half decent sound to it?
No - but recon it would sound pants - though its the look of the pipes that would make me change them, to 'modern' for the style of the bike. Maybe just taking off the silver bits would do it......
Anyway other than that it was lovely and felt very light and flickable, like a HD sporty that had been on a diet (and that had working brakes ). It had a really nice riding postion and was not some big fat lardy thing like other cruisers, reminded me of modern day XS650 chop - kinda thing that would be fab to plod down the A39 from Bideford to Padstow on a nice summers day on
£7K new - so will be watching with interest what the 2nd hand prices are like in a year or 2
They do an R version for a few quid more that has fancy shocks.....
