Brought my Nomad Home Today

bokobob · 10-15-2009, 05:25 PM

Well, I happened on a 2007 Nomad 1600 with 5880 miles on it a few days ago, rode it, fell in love with it, and brought it home today...

I dont' yet know how to post photos, but see an explanation and will get to it..meanwhile, here's a summary:

Red and Titanium color.
Purchased for less than blue book retail.
Extras:
Vance and Hines pipes installed...(stock pipes in box also came
with bike).
Rider backrest....it can be adjusted back and forth like the front seat of a car.
Chrome luggage rack.
Nice leather bag above handlebars and next to windshield for sunglasses, etc.
KH Pam hypr ch F/EF, yada yada...I dont know what this is.
"Million Mile Filter" ...I dont' know what this is..
Not a scratch anywhere.

Impressions so far:
I rode the bike home a distance of 25 miles...to say it is smooth is an understatement..The tranny is like silk upshifting and dowshifting..Stability plus...wow...nice, solid heavy feel, but not overly heavy..Handles like a dream...in just half the distance home, the bike was already "mine"..

But y'all know this stuff anyway..

I'm a happy camper.

One of the Kawanow members let me know about the bike adn I went from there with the seller..
