Congrats on booking the HD.

I'm waiting to read the ownership experiences and most importantly about the reliability of the bike and how it fares on our roads with the fuel quality and such.

Is it too cramped for 2 people? I am looking for another weekend bike so i can take my wife along with me on my trips.

Comfort for rider and pillion, reliability, decent amount of power to cruise effortlessly at three-digits and easy to ride in traffic are my requirements.

thanks kingzeeshan, hemank, tibby, harishsangwan, sudeepnbr. will put up the review as soon as I get my hands on the bike. watch this space!

@n_aditya: ive been told by the guys at the showroom that the harleys are tuned to accept regular fuel, but i intend to stick to the prescribed medicine.
with a pillion, the low gc might go lower and u might end up scraping a lot of speedbreakers. also with a tank capacity of 12.5ltrs and a mileage of 15kmpl I am not sure if i'll use it for longer rides, but more for night time rides and for weekend fun. I use my 2006 RE Bullet Electra 4s for trips. infact it was trusty steed for my journey to ladakh and back. trips like those are definitely out of question on the harley. atleast on the 883.
