Full newbie here, got a 530 pound bike. Easy to handle at anything except of runder 10mph. Just dropped it on my knee last weekend and let me tell you, it did do a bit of damage at around 10mph. So, yes the weight although not a huge issue, is an issue when it matters (ie – in you legs)…. On the other hand, the extra power did feel good and safe. So there…
Riding on the MSF should answer a lot of questions. Also, you may be able to rent a harley. Expensive, but hey, why not try before you buy…
I’ll keep updating as I go on. Good luck!
