From a HarleyDavidson Sales Executive view this is what I can say It is perfectly suited to fast flowing Aroads, shifting from one clean arc to the next, dropping from sidetoside with the smooth ticktock fluidity of a metronome. It made for a really enjoyable ride, especially as the weather had finally started to clear up. Yes, its a bit more of a beast on finicky Broads, but familiarity brings confidence, and with every mile travelled, it felt more capable. With the Low Rider ST youve got the happy medium of it being small enough to manhandle, but not so small as to give you the itchy feeling of needing to step up again right away.
