What's your thoughts on the Softail slim ? Just saw one at the local HD dealers lovely looking bike and the seating position felt right but I couldn't get a test ride as it was sold 
Softail Slim ?

I love mine. 
Had it since last August. I am about 6 2" and was thinking it was maybe to low for me. I actually find it quite comfortable even on long journeys.
Lovely cruising bike.

The gloss black ones look quite nice, but the matt black ones are a jumble of finishes. Not a good look. 
They feel really low and light, so good for shorties and the low on confidence
Not for me though, Softails are for looking at not riding :cool

Of course they're "okay" for a 200 mile trip....might even be "off-choke" by the time you arrive.........
I do regular trips up to my Dad who lives in North Wales on mine so it's an approx 500 mile round trip.

You can do 200 miles on a moped, it just depends on your definition of O.K.
If you want a touring bike look a a Glide. You only need a GS if you intend doing the 500 miles in one day with only one petrol stop
But I don't want a frigging moped do i!
That told him.
If you do get a Harley don't forget to change your name as every other member in this section seems to be called Dave.
