2011 Harley Davidson XL1200C Ride Impressions and Walk round

I was the first customer to test-ride this brand-new black 1200 custom. Similar to the ’48 in ergonomics, the new XL1200C has much more chrome, and a sensible sized fuel tank. The bike had only 9 miles on the clock, so the motor was tight, but it ran sweetly at 70 and felt great around town. See the video for more info

@wholegrant Depends on what kind of bike you were looking for…if you want Harley. The dyna series is excellent. Comfy and they handle good for a heavy bike. There’s a ton of options if you’re ok with jap bikes or even the other euro offerings.

Aye, that’s right. Well not exactly small as it was more a case of how close the risers put the bars and speedo. It felt they were right under my nose. Something that could easily be changed given the wide range of alternatives. However, in general it might feel a little cramped for taller folk. The other main failing is that of all bikes with forward controls that once you get over 65-70mph, the wind pushes your legs out and you back in the seat, meaning you feel you are hanging on.

Nice looking bike It was a little hard to hear you over the motor. At the end, did you say the bike felt small?

Ouai enfin ça on peut plus trop faire autrement…
En fait je posai cette question parce que je prépare un vieux custom Suzuki, et j’ai bricolé un support de plaque sur le coté, et ce qui m’inquietai le plus c’était de savoir si les forces de l’ordre étaient stricts à ce sujet
D’où es tu?
