Street Glide out Hammer S in

Stumpy · Apr 30, 2010

I've just spent the morning test riding a selection of Victorys and have fallen for the Hammer S. I've enjoyed my time on the Street Glide but just recently I've been struggling with the weight of the thing especially with my prosthetic leg.

Thought about Street Bobs, Fat bobs and Vrods but I've always admired Victorys from afar and fate decided a new dealership should open in Glasgow.

I was concerned I would struggle with the Hammer with its large rear tyre but it was a lot better than expected and I think with practise you could hustle along quite nicely

So I'm having the weekend to think it over and decide the colour :ymca

At the end of the day they are lovely bikes, built in the US to vety high standards. Unfortunately they 'aint Harleys, and that for me means I didn't buy one :nenau

I remember your wee test and the following stuck in my mind when I rode the thing

This Hammer was really addictive to ride. It took some getting used to the characteristics of the wide back end. I was also really carefull as it had a £1,000 excess on the insurance ( ). It was very predictable so in time I guess you'd get used to it.

The engine is really strong, it felt like a Harley on steroids. To get that much pull you'd have to spend big money at HD

Theres nothing else in the Harley range that interests me at the moment I thought about a Street bob and throwing lots of upgrades at it but I quite like the idea of not having a Harley for a while. The Harley I bonded with the most was my 1550 stage 2 FXDX. I can see me having another at some point
