Did 325 miles yesterday on the 17 trike,this new motor is fantastic the torque is great.It only has 550 miles on it so far but i did get it up on the interstate for about 20 miles and at 65 this engine is very smooth,more so than my 16 Tri Glde. Haven't had it over 3 grand yet but between 2500 and 3000 seems to be its sweet spot for cruising in 6th gear.Riding two up at 50 in 5th is no issue and when you roll on the throttle it pulls very nicely.The only thing that i notice is that the fans run a lot more than my 103 did probably because of the cubic inch increase.Will ask when I take it back for the 1000 mile service.So far VERY happy I traded up,only time will tell about reliability.
