Granted I have never been on the Dragons Tail, but I would take the bike that I have now, because that is the one that I am used to riding. My Springer has been on several roads with curves and it has performed all right for me.

How come there isn't a Sporty on that list. The Sporty does GREAT on the Dragon.

With the above list no contest the Night Train.
Hope to make it down to the dragon next year on the train.


...If I lived closer to the dragon, Id build up a sportser for canyon carving if it had to be a hd bike. Otherwise Id get a 2003 ZX-7R in Harley Colors (Black and Orange) to ride.

I listed my Heritage because it is what I own. But all of these bikes would work just fine on the Dragon. I've seen everything from bicycles to mopeds on the Dragon. Bring it, ride it, have fun on it, they all work for me.

None of the above. Harley's and cruisers ain't designed for that kind of a ride. Way too much work !

I would want some sort of lightweight metric open bike like a Yamaha R6 or a Suzuki SV650.
