Triumph Sports Tourer
harley rental question?
Hi
I am going over to the U.S this summer and am thinking of renting a Harley for a day or two, (desert roads and all that).
What I want to know is, coming from a sport tourer background as I do, Honda VFR, Triumph Sprint, Vstrom etc
what can I expect from the Harley.
Will I have no problems in getting to grips with it, what about the gear changes (two shifters??)
any points will be gratefully received.
And yes I know Harley aren’t the greatest bikes out there, but for a short American road trip I think it has to be done.
cheers
a harley dyna model (super glide standard) or 1200 sportster would be closest to what your used to, they have mid mount pegs & the toe shifter is where it should be. either one is stable enough to lean over & grind the pegs a little if the mood strikes you on a nice curvey road. or you can hook your heels on the passenger pegs for a little more lean angle. the mid pegs will fold up when they hit.
the big full dress models are more like a 2 wheel car & so plush you may get bored droning along & fall asleep while riding.
have fun while your over here. & be sure to spend lots of money. we need it.
