hey Speedy,
I just noticed after all this time you are from Hawaii. Which island? My wife and I have been here on Maui for 2 weeks for our annual, February, "get the he** out of the cold" vacation..
I rented a 2013 V-Rod Muscle for the entire time we have been here and have had a ball with it.
Oh, and to stay on topic, that 130 front tire really helps with the handling of the bike, having that rear 240. Keeps the bike from wanting to upright itself in the turns as the Rocker did like someone stated. Makes all the difference.
My V-Rod with that rear 240 absolutely wants to upright itself in the turns. When I am hitting them hard on that bike, you really have to manhandle it with the counter steering...
