hi dan, here's the thing with this bike, i've found over my 20 years riding, you become "labled" as a rider by the bike you're riding, if you ride a harley you're doing the "harley thing" unless you're old school biker who are able to sniff out the posers who buy harley becuase it's a fad or status symbol.H-D went from wild to mild. you got the japaniese sport bikers, all kinds of lables. i've found that rideing an america is completly liberating, i don't have to do the "harley thing" or have to have a bike that deos 0-60 in 2.9 seconds i've found acceptance from all groups in the cycle sceen and with this bike you can just do your own thing. as a long time harley rider you almost felt an obligation to harley this, harley that. harley everything. you can buy a harley davidson toilet seat cover?? what a joke! you begin to realise that you just become a cog in the harley davidson money making machine. do your own thing and ride without a label. keep it real. the deal with the bike is, silky smooth, ergonomicly awsome, enough power to keep up with just about anything stock and as others have said, it will turn heads. it's the best bike i ever owned hands down. ps: i used to own a virago too.
