Drove to Elgin, IL. to get one for $5,382. otd.
I'm a lot more thrilled about that price than I am about the gray color or the seat height. I'm short. Maybe too vain to be on my toes at the light. But it's also a comfort thing. Gotta fix that.
Put 15 miles on it Saturday, while it was sunny and not freezing.
Feels good going down the road. Not at all like the heavy ******* it is.
My last bike was a Sportster Custom it was low but heavy and not half as nimble as the SCR.
I like that this bike is not trying to be a Harley.

Howdy from Evanston, IL! We got ours from the same place I think... However, I had to give my tribute to the Cook County Mafia, (lol). But not by much. I as well put some miles on Yesterday... (41 miles since getting it delivered 2/23). Spring can't come soon enough. I came from a Sportster as well (Iron 883) and love the SCR so much more. I'm 5'10 so the height isn't as big a deal to me as the seating position is much better... Anyway, congrats!

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on buying your new SCR in my backyard at BBK Motorsports lol. Their staff is excellent so I have no doubt you had a great experience!

 

[Curt]

Yeah Krixtoph, It was in and out at BBK and a quick visit at Plank Road Tap.

Thanks, Jak!
Evanston's nice.
I saw The Church shows at Space and had a veggie burger that didn't suck, around the corner from there.

I'd love to find a cheap low seat and get the license plate moved, maybe just snug to the steel fender. Maybe a skid plate but it's fine without.
I'm frugal also and not that handy. I took the toolkit out and it's still laying on shelf in garage. I was wondering. How could I use all that space under the seat for storage? That would be awesome to have a black molded tub that slipped in.
I would never take the number plates off. They're too cool. A big part of the bike, in my opinion.
Yellow paint would work but I need a roof, a shed and fence this year.

Obviously you haven't seen that TV commercial on "How to put up a fence while riding a motorcycle".
The contractors truck pulls into the driveway right as the motorcycle rumbles out of the garage and down the road.
I honestly don't recall what they were advertising....

I always liked the cleaner but still very legal plate mounts. At least for someone going even more retro they have a reason to let the plate stick out
Fortunately the SCR can fit that look.

Ya know, a couple of bacon slices will fix that veggie burger right up. :laugh:

Welcome to the group, and don't apologize for the grey. I wanted grey, but the dealer with the deal in my area only had a red one left. Still a great bike and buy ($5257 OTD) with no noticeable difference in performance based on paint color.

Mmmm... bacon.
Got my numbers on to commemorate my 50th Birthday gift to myself.
