Thanks for writing this up, it clarifies many things.. mid-mount controls is kinda clear nowI'm pretty much a novice, but I think mid-mount controls refers to how forward versus how straight-up-and-down the foot controls are when operating the bike.
I've got a Honda CTX700. It has forward controls, which means my feet are forward when shifting and rear braking. The HD Streets will probably not be as far forward as my Honda, and therefore, are mid controls.
I wandered about the "lock to sweep" myself. I assume that means that you turn the grips to the left; push in on the ignition; and lock the bars before you remove the key. If this is the case, it's normal on modern bikes and so is a locking gas cap (which I personally don't like). Ignition lock I would think is pretty standard on any bike. I think that means the ignition can't be turned with the key out. Locking forks...I don't have a clue. I may be wrong on all of these, but that's the way I'm understanding it. Nothing out of the ordinary for any modern bike.
The V-Rod has this too. HD used to cast a lug in the frame and a matching lug in the lower triple clamp so you could slide a padlock through the lugs when the bars were thrown over full left. That was your "fork lock". Now they put a real fork lock on the bike. BMWs have had fork locks for, oh, fifty years now, but I digress. HD marches to it's own slow drummer.locking forks? interesting.
It is possible autocar india printed approximate/3rd party figures. Here is the bit -150 kph is only 93 mph. That might be the top speed for the 500 but a bike with 50-something horses on tap like the 750 will be able to manage a higher top speed than that.
You can always change belts and pulleys to change the gearing.
is it me or does the video in the link remind any of you of the show Sons of Anarchy?Here's a link with more information as well as a great video.
