Looked at a black 1 @ Hollywood Honda (Los Angeles). It's an xclnt platform to start a build w/ a phenomenal feel to it.....however believe it's way overpriced for what it is. It's $ 14,900 here for a bike w/ bout 10 major 'plastic parts' maybe 11 parts if u had n the rear fender.
when the bike makes it way down to 9 - 11 K, and the after market vendors develop pipes, chrome wheels, a metal rear fender, and actual chromed metal parts to replace the plastic 1's...that's probably when I'll purchase one. Buy it for bout 10K ish ..throw in another.....4-6 K ish in after market stuff - and I'll b good to go for the 'look' i desire for the local (100 -200 mile) rides and of course bar hopping.
btw, was a former HD guy (20 plus yrs)..until I got sick of their bs customer service. Purchased a 1800 X. Long hauls to Zion, Grnd Cyn are stellar. Best bike i've ever owned. do not c myself ever going bac to HD per se.. Probably the Fury or a perhaps a used Raider for bout 10 or 11 ish (then chrome the chit out of it - lol). Then again, a decent used Thunder Mountain 'chopper' r down to 19 K ish. Probably a lot lower given the economy.
keep up the work on this forum. Looking forward to seeing what people do with the bike.
