Clave (b) is the truth, buddy. For those who have never ridden a bike for a significant distance, that vibration results in numb hands, arms, legs, ass, back, etc. I have not ridden a Harley in 20 years, so perhaps things have changed, but physics say a twin is gonna have a nasty vibration compared to a four with comparable mounting/frame.
I recall having to get off about every 50 miles or so just to shake it off. VERY fatiguing.
But then again, a twin has the sound, the looks and the feel if you are wanting a cruiser. You want a touring bike, that is something completely different. And I personally would take a cruiser based upon my needs, over a crotch rocket or 800lb touring car with two wheels.
Very nice bike Thor! Once had a dark red Yamaha Virago which looked abit like it. Now I have a Honda CBR 1000 standing in the garage which I will take out for a ride tommorrow
