Hello there..

I am new to this forum and very soon I will be new to the HD game..... as I have ordered a FXDL to be delivered in Perth in September.
It was very helpful to follow the posts.
have been riding bikes for some time, however, I am about to realize my dream of getting that dream bike.

Lately I started to question my choice......It is between the low rider and the V-rod for me.

well, I love the looks of the low rider, looking at the bikes I am really driven towards the "low rider"....but I am afraid that I might get bored with the acceleration. I have been reading about the difference between torque and HP and I am still not sure as to how much more pull the v-rod actually has in real life??????!
In addition, I intend to take my girl for some long distance rides. Is the v-rod two up friendly?

Also, does anybody have any experience with the low riders cornering clearance??? Would I still be able to enjoy twisty canyon roads? Can I ride it aggressively? or is it an old peoples bike?


thank you very much

Daniel

Hi Danial .How much two-up riding are you going to be doing?cause both the bikes you picked will be hopeless unless your old-lady is 40kgs.I owned a 02 lowrider and my oldgirl hated it.Just be aware that your fxdl will have only around 3" of rear wheel travel and limited ground clearance,Great for cruisen the streets but not much chop in the twisties.V-rod prolly not any better,but they go like stink.Grab a test ride on them and make up your own mind ,but take em on some rough roads and through some corners.Choose carefully it's 30k.cheers
