I had the opportunity of enjoying a ride on A BLVD on Sunday.

Balance isn’t a word I use often, if ever, to describe a moto
rcycle’s handling, but it seemed unavoidable for the way the big bike feels at all times. About the only limitation is ground clearance. Yet even when pummeling the hopelessly short footpeg nubs into the pavement the double-cradle steel-tube frame continues through the arc without the slightest bobble or protest. Helping here, too, is the supple yet taut 43mm inverted KYB fork and hidden (for that rigid-frame look) 46mm KYB shock. I’ve ridden much more expensive bikes with far less quality of ride.

surprisingly easy to lever off the stand for a 700 lbs bike, which is aided by the friendly 28-inch seat height. Though the 4.8-gallon tank appears massive from any angle, the general appearance of the beastly machine being a bike-too-big evaporates from your mind after the first couple of intersections.

Overall ergos should be enticing to most riders, including folk well under six feet tall, many women, or anyone looking for a bike bigger than what they may have started out on. Reaching for the drag-style bars and foot pegs from the wide saddle that was neither too firm nor too squishy, put me forward just enough to allow me to attack bends in the road, yet I never felt stretched. The bike doesn’t come with a windscreen, but this one had one on it.


After examining the clutch i found this particular bike had a tight clutch tube nut but after 50 thousand km the clutch damper springs were found to be shot.
aside from the small design flaw in the clutch i highly recommend this bike to anyone looking for a big cruiser.
