I have not put a bunch of miles on the bike since the Progressive monotubes were installed but the more I ride the more I like them. they did smooth out the road some and I seem to corner better. I can still get some abrupt jolts like when I go over a bridge right by my house. It takes it better but still need to slow down which is just common sense anyway.
My 2013 rides like a rock on rough roads. Not acceptable for a $20,000 bike. Especially Not acceptable for a $30,000 full wing!
NONE of the other bikes in this price range are like that. I hear no complaints like what I hear on wings.
That being said,, the bike is, for what its worth,, one hell of a machine. Its a pure BRUTE!
Despite the rough ride I like it better that any other bike I've ever owned. I'm a grin and bare it kind a guy.
When anybody ask's what its like, I never mention the rough ride. I tell em its in a class of its own. And thats the truthhhhh.
Its ok to bitch a little,, isn't it?
