Carefull on the test rides..
Guys,
I was reading the Italian HM forum and seems like a lot of people that are testing the bike are getting caught by the unexpected wheelies and the overkill brakes..lots of damaged bikes..
I also read of people waiting over one hour in line to test ride the thing..
I don't recall anything like that in the past..

Since there seems to be plenty of hands on experience on the crashes how well does the HM take lowside/crash to the side?
ie, hundreds or thousands of €

Same thing happened with Monsters way back when. The Bikes are high up and they have quite a big initial bike on the Brakes

Sounds to me that it's exactly what I was hoping the bike would do

Two reviews from Sardinia each made similar statements like "in the first three gears where we seemed to spend the most time, this motorcycle would loft at will ".
