OK, so I have been tooling the idea of getting the Muscle as my 2nd bike. I sat on 1 and boy it is very heavy compare to my 03A. for a comparison, my 103 lbs GF can sit on my bike, grab the bar and straighten the bike with her thighs. on the Muscle she couldn't even move it. I tired, and yes, it feels like i am trying to move a softail.

I know some of you has trade up to F from older V, so what do you say about this? do you notice the weight increase? How is the handling compare to the older V?

I think the model designation "F" stands for FAT! :rofl: :hidesbeh:

Oh yeah, that's right, they have 34 more pounds of pistons... :hmm:

Hm, probably more of a seat position/center of gravity than weight, I can't see the weight making that much of a difference. ?

Not sure if it's anything to do with the rake/trail. Yes the F is heavy from a stop, but when it's moving it really handles very well.

I think the F is also wider than the other bikes. So your GF may have difficulty moving it the same way.

I love my F it's the best damn motorcycle Iv'e ever had. Never had another Harley or any other type of street cruiser for that matter.

When HD added the wide tire and bigger tank the Vrod got fatter.

 

[Mommas Boy]

Also wider frame. Thats why the 07 is the slowest of the nightrods, it has all the "heavy" upgardes, without the added hp.

Get rid of the factory exhaust and go to a 2 into 1 or a 2-2. Makes a WORLD of difference in how the bike feels..

Hey man, don't knock it till you've tried it!

Dude, we had that stuff long before H-D did!

hmmm 34lbs makes a lot of difference, i guess? mine has 240 too, and SE pipe (heavy). I just feel the F has higher center of gravity.

anybody ever ride both older V and F and feel the weight difference?

It shouldn't the weight is low and in the rear. :2cents:

So instead of being a Fat Boy... it should be called the Fat Girl 'cause Baby Got Back? :hidesbeh:

:bs: the RWHP is negligible at worst between an '07 1130cc & '10 1250cc DX

I think it's time for you boy's to go back to your forum! It gets embarrassing when the fat girls start laying out the smacks left and right! Honestly this board is for our hot ass muscle's not those old broken lookin scooters that my pappy used to sport! :moped:

 

[LL Cool K]
