Erik; Naw, the bike is actually quite comfortable, mainly because the srock seat has been replaced with a Harley-Davidson solo seat. Sure, 600 or 700 kilometre rides require a few stops, but compared to some other hardtails I’ve tried this one is fine, as long as one stays clear of potholes and lousy dirt roads.

You know how I can tell when a motorcycle is cool? When both of my boys won’t stop staring at it. They are 3 and 5 and both were enthralled by this beautiful bike! I love its clean lines but I bet it was a bit brutal for long rides with that hard tail.

I wonder if Nimbus vacuum cleaners were the inspiration for the name of the flying brooms in the Harry Potter books (The first “nice” one he gets is a Nimbus 3000). Brooms? Vacuum cleaners? Later on he gets a broom caled a Firebolt. Now there’s the Buell Firebolt. Coincidence?
