2018 Lowrider

A few posts ago, I was saying I wanted a Harley-Davidson Lowrider. However, after going to the HD dealership, I found the bike was not a good fit. I felt very cramped. The foot controls put my legs in more than 90°. I am used to my feet being much more forward. On the new Harley, I felt unstable as I rode, like I could fall off. I don’t actually think that was possible, though.

2018 Softail Heritage

So now I’m still searching bikes; other Harley-Davidsons actually. There are several that I like. One, in particular, is the 2018 Softail Heritage. It is on the same Softail frame as the Lowrider, but the foot controls are more forward fitting. It does have an option of a bigger engine, which I would probably get. It also comes with saddle bags and a windshield which make it look like a bigger bike. So the bike will probably be more comfortable for me and have much more power.

If I find that I don’t like this one I guess the search goes on. I’m not ready to make a purchase just yet anyway. It will probably be around 8 months from now, at least I hope so. For now, my current bike (2007 Suzuki Boulevard M-50) will do.
