Re: Anybody ever ride a Stratoliner?

I didn't get enough time in on the beast to rate the relative seat comfort (also, my brain was kind of mostly in "Ho-Leeee Geeeze" land, tuned into the power plant rather than the ass plant.) I think the pegs on the Suzie sit more directly under foot which is where I like them. The Stratoliner is not "chopper style" though. Even with the floor boards (more like generous foot rests) the position is not too radical. I did notice the wheel base seems to be a lot longer and the windshield sits a lot more forward. It also has an actual gas gauge and left and right turn indicators on the tank. Plus, the one i rode had a GPS mounted on it. Didn't look at it much, but it is probably more handy when you are out in the middle of nowhere.
