Well just make sure you do what all the young and old men that are first time Harley Davidson owners. Buy a bagger and install a kicking stereo with a 200 Amp Fosgate and play Steppinwolf loud enough for all to hear. While wearing shorts and a tank top.Pondering buying a harley. It's official - i'm old.
It blew off as soon as I left my compound.Should have went for the top hat...
I was all in on a ST until I sat on one. Seat height and weight up high just wouldn't do it for me riding 2-up. So after a little research I ended up with CTX1300. At 5'8" I can flatfoot it and the fuel being carried under the seat makes it feel lighter than is actually is. Somewhat the same engine/trans with a tune for low/mid torque. It's still plenty quick when needed.I had an ST1300 and absolutely loved it.
A smoother ride than either of my Goldwings, and the transmission was better than my 03 Wing.
That’s kind of intriguing actually, how’s the power?I was all in on a ST until I sat on one. Seat height and weight up high just wouldn't do it for me riding 2-up.

Very good I think. Instead of a big punch after 4000 like a ST the CTX pulls hard from 2000.That’s kind of intriguing actually, how’s the power?
Once you got it to work did you park where you could peak out the window and see it?I finally got to swing a leg over my Africa Twin and ride it to work and back. I drove my minivan to work in the morning, then went and got the bike at lunchtime.
For some strange reason the second half of the day went much better than the first half. Go figure.
Every time I get on the thing I’m like, wow, this is a really nice ride. In the middle of the afternoon one of my coworkers said “Hey, look out the window. Some dude is casing your bike”. Turns out he was just smoking it over, probably trying to figure what in the hell it was.

I work in a cubicle farm (think Dilbertville). I do park outside my window but I sit with my back to it, which is really creepy when I have to work late. Then I want an opaque window shade.Once you got it to work did you park where you could peak out the window and see it?
