The front brake requires at least a three-finger pull, but the twin-disc system does an adequate job of stopping the bike smoothly. The rear brake works well enough, but using it required lifting my boot, rather than just my toe, off the floorboard, which put me in the bad habit of using only the front brake for most stops.
Walking-speed handling is as slow and clumsy as you would expect on a bike with a dry weight of just over pounds.

All you have to do is set the cruise control--the best I've seen on a motorcycle--and point the front wheel in the right direction. A short-shield fairing designed by Harley styling guru Willie G.
Davidson keeps the wind down to comfortable levels while letting enough by to keep you cool above the waist.
