I'm betting she scoots real well off the line XD
Give us the skinny.
Yes, they got the suspension very right (for a Sportster). This may be the best-riding Sporty ever. The lighter rolling mass and geometry are awesome. The bike is stable at low speeds (truly confidence-inspiring), and nimble once rolling well. The acceleration is decent, but not impressive, but I'm used to my bike (50% more power). Overall, this is the finest entry-level girl's bike HD ever made.

Couldn't agree more. My wife saw that bike and decided it was the bike she wanted to learn to ride on. She's taking the MSF course next month, but has ridden it 6-8 times in quite areas and it doesn't stress her a bit, even at 5'0". I have so say, although it's a little compact for me, it is the most benign motorcycle I have ever ridden....right amount of power...incredibly low center of gravity...neutral handling. Nice "girl's" bike....I would have loved this for my first bike

I don't know what they did, but I do know the front end is wider on the Superlow than our bikes. I'm not going to do even look into it anytime soon, but it's on the wish list as I love the wheels and tires on the Superlow and the wider front end just looks right-not too wide, but just right IMO

Tek,,
I thought they got It right.

As for the front end,,
It has a bit less rake and that means less trail,,
And that means less effort to steer at low speeds,,
And that feels like a lower "Center Of Gravity",,
And that makes the Super Low feel like a lighter bike to a new rider,, or any rider,,
And that makes It a winner,,,
BIG TIME,,
for It's Intended rider.
Yep HD nailed that one!

Now If they will just make the exact same bike
with a 1200 mill.
I bet with proper shocks smaller people could tour comfortably all day.
1200 gearing,,,3,500 rpm's at 75 mph,,,
Thats enough Haul azz to keep anyone happy,,,,yeah baby XD
