I agree. I love this bike. I guess someone felt b/c it sits low it is
more suited for women. I never thought that! I was suprised to hear it.
Some members act like it can't corner very well...I'm sure i can get some lean on it. I not a big "backwoods twisties guy" anyway.

The only other bike I'm interested in is the Street Glide Special.
But, that bike seems more suited for longer distances. I don't go
real far. A dealer told me "It's the new tough guys bike."
LOL

I agree with Yzegod I do a lot of the back roads with twist and have never felt like an old lady. My bike handled a little better with the stock 16 inch tire and rim than the 21 but all in all I would not fair buying the deluxe it's a great ride
