It seems a very nice looking bike, but it's not a V twin :eh:

So long as you're happy with your new bike that's all that matters :thumbup:

After 4 years on a storm I bought one of those.

Traded it after under a year. Great, fabulous, wonderful bike. No character though.

Good choice :-) seems we got (almost) matching bikes.

Mine is totally standard in terms of vinyls other than the addition of the black and white gel stickers on the front and white ones on the tail. Now I have gotten used to them I really like them, especially the tail ones. The little lip stickers are coming off.

Seb, have you test ridden either of them yet?

I took mine out for the first half decent ride yesterday and fcuk me....it's just too quick. I love it. Can't wait for a ride up into the dales now.
