A friend rode her very nice HD Softail Deluxe to work today in honor of "Ride Your Bike to Work Day".
I commented to my Honda VTX1300 rider friend that the HD looks dinky? Maybe my eyesight is going bad (yes) or it was the white/black 2tone color scheme or lower seat but here are the dimensions.
Triumph America 2006

I just find it surprising the lower seat and 3/4 inch wheelbase difference made the HD look that smaller? Oh well...on to something else to think about.
