Looks great. Really quite like these.

[jdwoodbury]

Very nice, considered one of these before but needed to do 2-up

[RemaL]

Not a harley fan but that does look very nice

[pistonchris]

I would not sell that.
love that so stealth its stunning

Harley have lost the plot with mat black and pewter boring finishes - and

that is not a harley engine IMHO - cheaply made but keeps the legend going (slow)

they handel ste too.............

good job

[Big Tav]

Really? That is the most nowhere post ever!

Matt finishes are all the go at the moment and my bike is not cheaply finished. It also has the most advance motor in a Harley you can get. Also one of the fastest.

Looks big mean black monster to me! Powerfull too, i'm sure- yet to click on video clips.
They do sound pretty good too.

114 bhp not slow at all , they are also far better quality than a lot of the harley range .

but i found one just for you

Mine is no garage queen. If the sun is out and i'm not at work I ride it. Night Rod Specials are a Harley that's made to be ridden.

Very nice Bike Would have one as a second bike but already have two expensive toy

[t5monkey]

That's a proper 'mans' bike is that... I like it!

Have you been to a small town in the middle of nowhere, smashed up a bar, beaten up all the blokes and raped all the women yet?

Last week.

I know many HD owners with high milage bikes.

I also know a fair few sportsbikes that are garage queens too, why pick on HD?

[Big Tav]

I'm just sad I have to sell it. It was almost finished

There are some right rude comments being posted, for what seems to be no genuine reason.

I had a preconceived notion that Harley Davidson bikes were all silly and ridden by men going through their mid life crisis.

I'm glad I was wrong, this looks fantastic and the colour scheme really sets it apart. There has clearly been a lot of care taken and although it looks far tidier and cleaner than my own bike I feel it is to be commended rather than sneered at for being a 'garage queen'.

Not everyone rides bikes to go quickly and corner hard, this is clearly then just at the other end of the spectrum to what others may prioritize.

[stevethegreek]

some typical ricer rider comments as usual above...

have done over 25k miles on my current Harley and about the same on my last...it hasn't been washed since April, just gets ridden...hardly a garage queen!

we-re not all weekend warriors...
