Got my 1250 w/ABS yesterday. It had one mile on it. Just out of the crate. Put a battery charger plug on (see plug just below seat) as I charge when not riding. Rode to the local ice house where 150-200 meet and greet. Mostly HD and a few others...they looked but not much comment.

This is a keeper.

Best bang for the buck. I will keep this one. Now have 39 miles on it...guess I had better put a few more on. Here is a pic, looks like your's...

My ABS was $500 more, but if it saves me once, it will be worth it. It adds about ten pounds I think. A friend of mine who rides 35-40K a year swears by it on his GW.

I posted last night on the FAQ board, in error, and it seems it was removed. I learn as I go along.

It wasn't removed, just moved... a few minutes ago.
I moved it to the "Big Bandit Banter" section... but here would have been just as good.

I have since fixed the problem with the FAQ, so no one can make that mistake again.

Good looking bike!

As Zen said in the other thread, the body and frame colors look MUCH better in your pic that the promo shots.

I guess my journey is truncated. I've been to Luckenbach... I blinked and missed it entirely....

Congrats George!

A little different feel from the GW I imagine! I can't say I'm surprised you didn't get any comments from the HD crowd. No comment is probably a glowing review!! Ride safe and keep those impressions coming as you put some miles on it.

Nice. The garage is nice too. I wish I had that much room.

I let a Harley rider ride my 97 B12 last week and he was pretty impressed, but I doubt he'll buy one.

Very nice man

Safe & happy riding on your new scoot!

Now you've got to remove those stickers. I had success with copious amounts of WD 40, a hair dryer, and my fingernails.

I congratulated you in your other thread, but what the heck...
