2012 FLHTK

Right, there's no way of tarting this up, so I'll just come out and say that this is what I traded my ZZR1200 intercontinental ballistic missile in for last year. I'm not quite sure what came over me, other than to say that I instantly connected with this oversized hog in a way I didn't with the mighty Z, which was remarkable only in terms of the obscene speed with which it propelled my rancid body down German autobahns: in all other respects I'd got a bit bored with it.

Time will tell if this was the right choice or not, but if I really can't live with it I'll part-ex it for a 2018 Fat Boy, or abandon the whole HD dalliance and get a K1600GT. In black.

Wow that is some bike. Enjoy. I used to have a Fatboy when I lived down south over 20 years ago - great for posing.

Thanks Mike. I loved the Fat Boy I took out on test and would have had one in a shot, but most of my riding is long-ish distances across Europe in all weathers, and I didn't fancy that on an un-faired bike. Plus the massive luggage capacity of the Glide is a bonus, and the stereo is a novelty!

it's very...... Brown.. ..

Nah seriously I look forward to hearing how you get on with it as I'll likely be riding something similar on my holiday later this year!

Awesome. Just sitting on that thing and dreaming of America has got to be a hoot. Enjoy it

Indeed - metallic brown and orange! Looks awesome in the sunshine, but in dull weather it takes on the deceptive appearance of a massive motorised turd.
