Fantastic bike! Fast, smooth, quiet, comfy.

I get a little tranny whine off and on, but nothing to complain about. Sounds almost like a bell ringing.

Even at highway speed, my right leg gets hot. Not scorching, but hot. But then I live in Texas, and it's been low 90's and humid.

Scary part is the throttle started sticking after about 100 miles. When I let go, it sort of drifts back to idle in a couple of seconds.

Headset doesn't work worth sh*^ and you only get one. All that money, you'd think they give you two good headsets.
The headsets that come with the bike are awful. I'd just go over to J&M Audio and buy theirs. We did on our last Ultra and will be using them for our new bike as well. Thanks for the ride report...and good luck with the bike, the silver/white is very nice...
