    I have done two short test rides as the bike was not available for an hour long test ride as both the time it was a weekend and the showroom guy asked me to come on some weekday. Will definitely do a long test ride before booking.
    BTW what all accessories you are planning to add so far?

      Thanks!
      No sissy bar for me though, will be riding solo
      Yes, I will be looking at a crash guard and SE soon!

      For now, nothing. But will be looking at a lot of aftermarket addons later. SE is one thing which I will add after 3-4 months.

              Here are a few images from the rides which I took.

              The beast rides great, superb acceleration and amazing handling. Don't be inundated by the negative reviews of this bike doing rounds, it is an awesome bike.

              You have to ride it to believe it

                  People writing about poor quality on Harley davidson street have no Idea about Quality!
                  They are just comparing it what they have been getting previously.
                  Its like getting used to Innova and then complaining that Aston martin have poor quality because they are so loud inside!
                  You're never lost if ya don't care where the road is headed

                    That's the general mindset - "my last bike didn't rattle at 60kmph but this new one starts rattling at 50kmph" or "my last bike's paint survived lot of rain and sun but never lost the shine but this new one has started to lose shine in just 100 kms of rain" etc. etc..

                    In your opinion, what should one look for while commenting about the overall quality of the bike?

                          Absolutely bro! To each their own, while it is very easy to form an opinion based on reviews off the internet, real 'hands on' approach is something people should also take into consideration.

                          It's highly subjective. But in any case, it's a better idea to have a brief from existing owners of a certain bike, makes for a better decision overall.

                          Internet is usually bang on with most reviews, but again it sometimes easily slips into the whole herd mentality phase.
