Im going to be renting a hardley in Miami (Friend who rides visiting for my wedding wants the full 'American experience' or something). If you could ride any harley for 1-2 days, which would you ride? At the moment leaning towards a v-rod since at least its not super slow..

Riding buddy has a 1125CR - that bike can haul some serious rear end. Plus it has the counter rotating belt tensioner/pulley thing which I love to watch working for some reason. I'd ride the poo poo out of one.

I'd mentioned a few pages ago I was going to rent a Harley in Miami, so figured I'd give my quick impressions. My brother, best friend and I rented 3 bikes - a Sportster, Nightster and Electra. Seeing as I'm the only one whose ridden a bike which weighs more than 400lbs before I put my name down for the Electra. We swapped out during the ride (4 hours only due to time constraints). Electra: I really liked this bike. It was perfect for sitting back, cruising along and enjoying the scenery. It was the 96 cu motor. It definitely had a lot of torque down low, but it wasn't fast by any stretch of the imagination. That didn't matter though, because we were just cruising enjoying the sights. Notes: - CD player on a bike - much more fun than you'd expect. - For such a big heavy bike it sure was agile at low speeds once you got over the 'its gonna fall over!' factor. - The sound was glorious. - The vibration at idle was insane, as soon as you got moving it became buttery smooth. Sportster/Nightster: No redeeming qualities in my book. lovely handling, slow, uncomfortable. Felt really cheap. When I get older I think I might pick up a Harley tourer...
