Depends on your comparison, if it's to choppers, they handle better. If it's to what we ride, they handle a lot worse. My comparison is to what I am use to, so my assesstment was accurate.

The Harleys I've ridden handled nice enough. No issues what-so-ever when ridden at legal speeds. Clearance can be an issue but if you are "cruisin" they are fine. I'd have no problem with double yellow because the only time I cross them is when turning into a driveway or parking lot. |

Clearance is the complete issue here, I consider that part of handling, you need to go well below the speed limit as I stated on a lot of these customized harleys to make some of these turns without leaving your lane. You will notice a lot of them going at parade speed to make it through the gap in their lane and still scraping parts.

Remember, we have it just as cold as WI yet we have much much higher truck weight limits. I think one of the highest in the country. So that just jacks the roads up like you wouldn't believe. There are roads out here that Ford uses to test their cars suspension on in real world. |
