Nice Looking Bike,.... Just try to deal with your own bank or obtain
financing elswhere. The Moco is in the business of making money from
forcing higher interest rates on unsuspecting shoppers! They WILL offer
you low financing until you sign the papers, then they will "find" a glitch
and hit you in the pocketbook!
In my opinion Crooks!
YMMV

Good bikes. Reliable. Expensive.
If you are a J-brand rider, you will find the HD quite different.
The HD is low in horsepower but high in torque. That means you will
have a low RPM machine that seldom requires shifting, but also isn't
a speed demon.
The saddlebags and tour pack are roomy and handy, particularly the
tour pack. Add a back rest to the rubber mount engine and
floorboards and you have a supremely comfortable all-day ride.
The radio/cd player grows on you. I love it.
One of the major advantages of all Harleys is the thousands of after
market and HD/SE brand modifications you can make to the bike.
If you want a little extra kick, here are my recommendations.
95ci kit
Power commander programmable FI module
SE slip-on mufflers
SE 203 cam kit
These will yield mid to high 80s for HP and mid 90s for torque. I
pull a trailer around the country comfortably at 85mph with that
setup. Unless you are a speed demon, there is plenty of power. Top
speed is somewhere around 115-120mph.
Expect 40mpg at 55-60 mph and 30 mpg at 85 mph.
