Okay- this bike has got to be the direct contrast to my concours, but I like it. I grew up on the '80's power cruisers, and watched them grow bigger and heavier as proportionally their power output decreased. In fact, i disliked the cruisers they are building so much, 2 yrs ago I went to the sport touring section. I still long for a new cruiser as an in town bike, but no behemoth and it can't get smoked by every 20 yr old 600 cc sportbike on the road. I never actually considered a 100hp cruiser under 600 lbs would be built in North America, but this bike has my attention! Any others feel the same?
Just one more thought for air-cooled traditionalists- can liquid cooling be considered a replacement for displacement?
