Thanks guys... all useful. Good point about the premium over softail (is it sad I like the heritage softail - no answer required).
Twizzle, yes, well its in Colwick/Sneinton now as the dealer has relocated.
I tried a cross-bones a couple of years ago when they were out and Harley did a roadshow at Holme Pierrepont in Nottingham, and other than the footboard going down as soon as I pulled out the car park I kinda liked it. Slow, heavy, but a complete laugh. I've also tried a few sportsters over the years, and more recently I flirted with the idea of the Dyna Switchback which was OK apart from the windblast from the screen position. Oh the softail slim was another whim, liked that, but realised I tend to ride my scooter faster than it let me go without any weather protection.
I think its too much £££, as whilst its got a few trinkets on it (stage 1, rear seat and sissy bar, lights 'smoked' and lots of other bits Im sure I missed), Id really like something as original as possible that hasn't been messed about for that money (which is probably not going to happen in the Harley world). In fact I'm pretty sure thats the price they were sold at new.
It was a nice Kronenbourg fueled idea, but I think I'm on the next idea to relieve myself of some discretionary spend.
RBW.
