Although Jools loves her Z900, the tail is quite high and she struggles to get her leg over (oo-er). She also has issues with her knees on longer rides due to the riding position. When she took her bike to the dealer for service last week, they had a Vulcan S in, and it looked really low. She booked a test ride for 18/08, because that's when my bike goes in for service. Sat at home, she thought she'd have a look at the Harley dealer on Southampton. Saw a really nice looking Softail street bob in black with matte black metal bits. Booked a test and took it out yesterday. The bike is 107ci, which equates to about 1750cc, so mucho torque. She was a bit nervous to start, but got used to it very quickly. We stopped just outside Lyndhurst to see what she thought, and she loved it. On the way back, she really gelled with the bike and was living the torque for overtakes. She had a word with the sales wallah, the bike she rode was a 2018 model up for £10,995. The dealer will do a new one for £12,000. She's looking at paying off the finance on her Z900 and selling that for a decent deposit.
