I was a mechanic for the City of Ft lauderdale police motorcycle fleet back then they had Kawasaki KZ1000 loaded up with all the gear that they needed. They were death traps anything over 60 MPH and it was a wild ride, the cops fucking hated them.
Then they switch to Harleys, they could not believe how much worse they were, they were stunned.

let's get real here, this thread is for a potential new rider and it's irresponsible to fill this thread with info that is way over what's practical.
1. you think 20+mph is walking speed? it's not. these are riding around town speeds and skills, period. that's not even up for discussion, it's like you think you're talking to someone who's never ridden. If those riders thought a dofferent bike would give them a competive edge, they'd use it.
2. my previous dyna and an xr1200 are both examples of h-d that are not top heavy and have excllent brakes.
