I would agree above, best dyna ive ever rode, by leaps and bounds...rode it twice at demo area today. An absolute rocket and the higher center of gravity lets you really put it over in the corners. This thing with a few grand of motor work would be 600cc sportbike fast

Only real complaint are the tank gauges, they are actually dangerous if you want to use them while driving. Putting them up in the fairing would be great. As said above the exhaust seemed quite loud for stock but combined with the open element intake may have been tricking my ears a bit....would def like to have one of these.

 

No it wouldn't. A 600cc SS bike is maybe 1/3 the weight. That translates exponentially over all aspects of riding. Corning, braking, acceleration etc. never mind probably a 60 degree lean angle.

The Low Rider S is THE more provocative bike in the HD lineup, and this is coming from a former Ducati 1199 owner. But, a sportbike equal it is not.

 

I would have to agree with bp. Even my old work bike (a 95 ZX6R) will beat it. It might hang for the first 60 feet but after that and it's see ya! My R1 that I sold will just murder it. I still think that the new 110 LRs is one of the baddest dyna model so far...im def in the market for it.

I have not had the chance to ride one, but I understand about the tank gauges. It was a problem on my 04 FXDL and it may be even worse on this bike. I like the idea of putting something inside the fairing. Mine should be in sometime in the next couple of weeks.

 

Tank mounted gauges suck!
I moved mine up to where gauges should be mounted.

 

Rode one yesterday


It is a fun bike. I was impressed by the rear suspension (which was those new premium emulsion shocks). The motor vibrates way more than my Dyna. The bars sucked and the seat was way hard. Other than those easily fixed things it's a killer looking bike and it has a decent amount of torque. Could be better but not bad out of the box.

 

did it sound any deeper than reg dyna?

 

One of my concerns is how much this bike might vibrate at speed.

Did the bike vibrate more at idle or on the road? Did any of you others that have test ridden the bike noticed anything?

So far the road test articles have not indicated anything unusual.

Thanks.

Anyone know of any dealers getting these delivered yet?

I signed the papers on mine yesterday, dealership still doesnt even have a vin number... and they say the ETA is "before April."
