Yup, the hard bags are the best feature and are the best looking hard bags made by any manufacturer.

I also like the windshield, crash bars, and mag wheels not spoke.

Best feature is me riding it. Worst feature is when it is parked in the garage for winter.

Best is over all looks. The worst maybe the fact that I have to adjust the toe shifter to get my boot under it. I also have to get use to the heel shifter.

oldbiker · 01-01-2008, 05:17 PM

The thing I like best is the fit. The Nomad just fits me. Feeling totally comfortable on a bike makes it a pleasure to get on and stay on.

You don't put your toe under it use the heel shifter for shifting up and the front lever for down shifting

you know i did not list what i thought but here goes the hard bags are very good like better then the wings and the bike is just a ball to ride reminds me of my old indian . did i tell you i just thank its pretty. back to child hood huh

ds06nomad · 01-01-2008, 06:59 PM

Like best...
1. Overall look: dual exhaust, big hardbags, windscreen and 95ci;
2. that it's BLACK and bad ass looking!

Like least...
1. hp and torque of those 95ci's;
2. tranny should be a 6-speed (especially when #1 is rectified by the Kawi engineers); and
3. a little crampish on foot/legroom (brake pedal could be a tad more forward, IMO)

Udder den dat, I friggin' love this bike. It personifies my idea of what a big bike should look like. It's the complete package and far and away the best value in its class.

My $.02,

One dislike is no tach.

One wish (that's not reasonable) is a heads up display that puts the speedometer image up on the windshield.

blowndodge · 01-01-2008, 07:41 PM

Fit, shaft drive, engine smoothness, high geared, looks, hard bags, windshield, color

Not:
soft power, pinged, seat,

thats about it.

Hard Bags & heel & toe shift.

mercianbike · 01-01-2008, 08:34 PM

Best:
1. First impression: "My God, this is beautiful!"
2. Dual exhaust (Had Cobra's when I bought it, never heard stock).
3. Hard bags.
4. Balanced lines from any angle.
5. Stock saddle (Yes, better than the Mustang on my Yammy 650).
6. Effortless cruising (I may get my first speeding ticket in over 50 years).
7. Easy to change oil & filter.
8. Tubeless tires (Can plug & pump if you get a flat in the boonies).
9. Lots of chrome.

A Little Less than Best:
1. Black Bridgestones (Will replace some day with Metzeler WSW).
2. Head buffeting (Less buffeting with larger lowers but still experimenting to reduce further).
3. 10% speedometer error.

ells · 01-01-2008, 08:43 PM

Best - Smooth ride, all the standard extras, FI, 1600, comfy passenger seat, tubeless tires, color scheme, triple disk brakes, stock sound, 5.3 gal tank.

Worst - 407 lb useful load (Yes, I know you can go over it, but still...), 5-bar fuel gage, no tach, lean limit, rear tire size (rare)

Overall - Really love it
