Soon! :mrgreen: I'm an equal opportunity blogger :). The new Viff should see some action this weekend. Will it be a ride worth writing about ? Likely not, but I can tell you that the engine is a peach. Hellaciosly Honda smooth but packing heat everywhere. The chassis is long and it's definitely not superbike twitchy, light on the back end under heavy braking (which I LIKE), but it is an old guy bike - and I'm attempting to age gracefully. The only problem with that is the SuperDuke in the garage that keeps whispering bad things in my ear..... :P

Nevermind... Seems the video has been deleted, which is quite sad, as it was hilarious.

"TotalMike tells me the 110 in the C.V.O. is something else altogether and now I can't wait to try one."

Yes, the 110 CVO is a torque beast vs the 96, the 96 being a great crusing engine, the 110 just pumps it up Arnold style. I found myself always wanting to go full throttle on the 110 as it was just so much fun. The Screamin' Eagle breather worked well too although I never heard it "sucking in air" like the K&N pod filters did on my XJ650. We would love to have a ride with you in AZ if we can!

Too bad when I visited on the CVO Fat Bob it didn't work out for a test ride, you were most welcome to ride it. Hopefully Harley-Davidson Canada again has a Calgary (or close) Media ride again soon.

Mike
