Great "Sports Cruiser"

Great Sports Cruiser and a Head turner. It is surprisingly highly maneuverable compared to its size. One issue though is its low 130 mm Ground clearance which often creates issues around Speed bumps in Cities.

After a 2000 km ride and much more experience with Vulcan S bike. I am surprised by its performance. It is quick and fast for a cruiser. It is a sportbike with a cruiser body. Because it is an expensive bike. I just wish it has more features like riding modes etc. Builds quality is awesome. I can't feel the vibration at all. It's heavy, but again because of the low seat height.
