A few snapshots from the International Motorcycle Show in Seattle a couple weeks ago.
Me sitting on the deluxe in blue gray.
Anonymous other guy sitting on the standard in red.
The bike felt really light to roll up off the kickstand. Much lighter than my VTX1800. The seat was very comfortable. The reach to the bars was comfortable but a just little farther away than I like. I like to sit all the way back in the seat with a rider's backrest (which I would have to add). I would probably want to move the bars back about 2 inches or so. The bags are nice and the bag latches are really sturdy. The only thing I didn't really like for looks was the backend because it's nothing but dull black plastic. I think it would look nicer if they carried the paint color all the way to the rear of the bike somehow, even just a hint of color would help. The blue gray deluxe looked very stealthy with the dark color and blacked out features. Overall, I'm really jazzed about this bike and look forward to all the reviews and a test ride.
