Sweet! Although I'd never ride a bike that's not mine hard...hell I don't ride mine hard alot.
I don't blame ya on the gladhandle.. er gladiola.. er Gladius. Looks like a wannabe Monster.

Demo bikes are meant to be ridden hard! I don't know about Harley and there "ride anything" deal, but any other company that does demos considers the fleet a writeoff. They're advertisement. Though usually you don't get to ride that hard because the rides are lead by an employee at a less than spirited pace.

When I demo'd the vrod it had less than 10 miles on it. Guy told me to take it easy...then proceeded to leave me in the dust. I guess it depends who you get. Oh yeah...this guy was the sales mngr.

I really liked it. The corner clearance isn't much...but it handled really well, especially for having a 240 rear.

My customer that buys a new bike every couple months showed up with one of these yesterday. I'd hit it!
