Americade Raider Test Drive 6 Months ago

I test drove the Stratoliner and the Raider at Americade yesterday. I liked the Strat.....LOVED the Raider! It compared very favorably to my old Warrior - lots of pop. At any speed you just crack the throttle and she wanted to GO! It handled very well, too - even with the raked front-end. The only thing I didn't like was the bars.....too high and narrow for my tastes (I will also state for the record that while I like the 'factory custom' styling design now.......I'm not so sure it won't be like wearing a mullet in a few years

).

Anyone else had a chance to ride one of these and what were your thoughts???
