 Hammer vs M109R
I have narrowed my search down to two bikes.
I will have to say the Victory did a great job with the Hammer. If you ride it, it does sell itself. These are the only real cons I can think about: Price, Plastic rear seat cowl (concerned that those nipples breaking off), Price, I have read about the rear brakes wearing out in 5K, Price and did I mention the cost? I want the billet wheels, chrome package and the HID light(loaded). And that will be 19k and some change. I have found a dealer that will sell me a Hammer with the billet wheels and HID for $15,800, plus the stage one kit, Jackpot light, led rear turn signals, tag side mount and a couple other little bling items. Lets just call it 19-20k on the road.
I just rode the M109R today. The bike seems to be more nimble then the Hammer. It has great power with no modifications. And did I say the price is under 12K on the road. Plus in March you receive a leather M109R Jacket for free. The cons about this bike are: all plastic body parts, except the tank, a little more maintenance due to the radiator and rear differential, the ugly front headlight bucket (cone), the clutch lever is a tag bit out there and it is the first year out.
Is there anything I missed? Tell me what you think? The spring bug is biting me and I need to ride!! To bad I sold my Vulcan 750 a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for your input.
