Re:HD's new foal in the stable? 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
Nice bike but, like a lot of them no matter the brand, it's just too small for me. It would be nice if HD would put out a model with a bit more room stock. A long wheel base ultra would be nice...

A few years back there was a thread on roadie rider size. Some big fellas ride the R*.

Then there's Big Bear who makes even the Roadliner look like a toy.

I believe he took the cake as the biggest fella in the thread back then.

My old 750 honda would outrun my R*.............it weighed about a hundred lb. less, and handled better...but it felt like riding a fence rail..........

I read this earlier and agreed, for the most part. And then it just hit me: except for the "little" part, so would a used Warrior! Like this one For less money.

I rode an 02 Warrior with a few basic mods last year, and it's for sure a bad ass way to run errands

That would certainly be a fun bike. I like the Gray paint. Looks good.

They handle well. I'd take that one, put some drag bars on it and a propipe and a power commander and then relish the moment I pull up next to any Sportster.

I love the front wheel on this. The hubs and crud all over the front wheel of the Roadie are a minor gripe... I wonder if there's a way to clean up the front wheel.
