Not sure if this qualifies, but I put about 400 miles on my bike this weekend. I picked it up Friday and had a stage I done with the new harley street tuner and street cannon mufflers-the bike already had the high flow air cleaner. It did 91HP on the Dyno and 118 ft lbs of torque. I've been impressed with it so far. The lack lack of noisy valves and lifters is one of my favorite things. Power delivery is remarkable-very smooth and linear throughout the gears. It's easy to exceed the speed limit if you're not paying attention. Thought I was doing 50mph and looked down and I was doing 65. It runs much cooler and has less engine shake at idle....but it still shakes which I think is a good thing. The suspension is a huge improvement. Front end feels much more solid and the rear shocks are better but still not world class in my opinion. Didn't notice any significant difference in the clutch feel or transmission. I Both felt very similar to my 2015 CVO Streetglide. I had no difficulty in finding neutral and the clutch engagement point was similar to my previous CVO. The exhaust sound is going to take some getting used to. It's deep and has a good tone when you crack the throttle but its a little muffled at idle. Coming off a Thuderheader and D&D on my last two bikes, I would like a little more volume....its disappointing not to set off all the car alarms in my neighborhood...Overall, my initial impressions are very positive. It's still a Harley just a little more refined.
