big_mike Posted September 24, 2007 #1 Posted September 24, 2007 saturday on our ride to the irish hills we stoped at a bike shop in cement city they sold h.d. honda and yamaha i saw a real nice ultra classic i think it was an 06 it looked great until i sat on it. being 6'4" tall the first thing i thought of as soon as my ass hit the saddle was wheres the rest of the bike? the next thing i noticed was i had no and i meen no leg room it would have been hard to even hit the rear brake i wiil admit it was a nice bike if i was 5'4" waybe:stirthepot: it's been a while since i rode a harley i guess i forgot how small they were or just realized how large my rsv is:stirthepot:
juggler Posted September 24, 2007 #2 Posted September 24, 2007 Yeah, those Ultra's are small bikes compared to the RSV. I'm only 5'9" and I found the Ultra too small for me and my wife. Someday Harley will make a bike for grown ups.
silvercrew Posted September 29, 2007 #3 Posted September 29, 2007 I have been looking at the hd street glide. That is a bike that I can see myself on. I may try and rent one for a couple of days next summer just to see how well I like riding it.
Freebird Posted September 30, 2007 #4 Posted September 30, 2007 Mike, I agree that it feels small compared to the RSV. I think it would be comfortable with some highway pegs though. As for the Streetglide, one of the guys that rode with us to Fort Collins this year was riding one. It was a rental due to a charging problem with his Valk on the morning that we were leaving. He really liked it. It seemed especially small to me though.
