They still are. The first time I noticed that the the rear tire was not centered in the fender I did a lot of confused staring. I had never heard of such a thing before and until now never knew the real reason.

It starts off on a positive note and then the more you get into it and watch and listen to the backgrounder on the mechanicals you come away with the conclusion that the only good thing with this brand is their throaty sound. Many items (boxes to tick) and consider on a bike, and hardly enough reason to buy one for that reason alone. Ryan is such a stealthy and clever guy where you need to watch to the end to get his final take. Like his take on the 1250GS and went all contrarian to other reviews in trashing it. Is that how Fortnine moves affiliated product sales?

What's strange about it is why he even did the vid? It's an old twin-cam bike, not a new product review. There's nothing in it that hasn't been said before by other cliche Harley haters. He says it's his bike, like he bought it, but he has said that in other vids about other bikes. He goes out of his way to make a sneering mockery of the brand, then reconciles it all with the sound of the bike. I have to be honest, guys like him don't belong on Harleys and I hope this isn't a new trend.
It's obvious that RyanF9 is just jealous because he can't afford a Harley.

Yeah, you're probably right. Very sad.

I can't afford a Ducati or an Italian supermodel either - and that's likely a good thing.
The videos of the Pan Am had me sold. Awesome bike with everything i was looking for.
But the experience with the dealer hasn't been great. I've asked three times for pricing numbers and every reply has been empty and either a week late, or not at all. I'm taking my deposit next door.
Next door to whom?
I'll most likely go to Apex.
The Super Tenere looks good.
It’s disappointing when a dealership experience isn’t a positive one. Especially when you have a deposit down.
I’m gonna wait until they work through first model issues out in the wild and consider one in the next year or two.
And I’m looking forward to some North American reviews.

literally next door?
I'll take it at face value that Ryan actually owns the bike. The video he made of accessorizing the bike was entertaining and made a good case for buying an older HD and updating or customizing it for fit so you can have the HD experience for less money.
I usually enjoy the F9 videos but I found this one was just dull. The shaking vibration explanation was relatively interesting, but the rest not so much.
I didn't see anything that would offend me if I (still) owned a harley. maybe I missed it or maybe I'm just tired of our collective proclivity of being recreationally offended.

Yes.Google Map it.
I heard good things about the dealers out this way. Maybe give them a shot? I would be frustrated but not write off a model simply because of a bad egg.
A few owners i know constantly sing praises about Mackies, I believe that’s in Oshawa? @sburns weigh in?
Maybe you can get your order done with them and have it transferred out west for pickup. Or take the opportunity for a nice ride home on it.
