Spent the morning finishing up getting the bike set up the way I like it and learning the basics of the gps. So this afternoon got to go riding.
Man, oh man, I am digging this bike! I've test ridden a few Rushmore models over the last couple of years but not much saddle time to really tell all that much about them. But this '17 is just awesome - much more power than my stock 2012 110" and a lot cooler. The suspension is very much improved over any stock Harley I've owned. No front end dive and the rear is light years better than the standard old air shocks that came before. The bike seems heavier than my '12 when I lift it upright from the jiffy stand but once I get going it is very, very nimble and the handling is confidence inspiring. No mountain twisties around here but we do have some curvy roads and I took them effortlessly at a higher speed than before.
Even the gps proved to be very accommodating and I had no problems with the route.
We're headed out of town Thursday for a 4-day weekend so I'll get to test it out some more.
