You'll have to tell us more in the Off Topic area. I have been toying with the idea of getting a second bike. I'd keep my RT and get a cruiser. Been thinking about a FLHP or FLHTP as first choices, Road King as a second. I think the Indians are probably more reliable over the long haul and maybe easier to live with, but they are just as expensive and don't have quite the fit and finish of the HD. IDK. What's the belt life like on them and I've read the manual and it showed 30k mile replacement intervals on the Indian, which seems short and 20w-40 oil, which is an odd weight. Just like to get your insight into owning one. Look forward to your response.

I think even a short review here would be a positive thing. Most of us have moved on beyond the Nomad and Kawasaki's in general. As far as the challenger goes, I've heard they put off a lot of heat and they have a limited color availabilty. I wouldn't be interested in the 29k dollar model and the cheaper one only comes in gray. I have a silver motorcycle and I hate neutrals. I think they can do better that way.
