In short: Fun. I couldn't ride it all day, but it did get a lot of attention from the locals ... who all happen to drive pick up trucks.
If you rode it all day, you would lose a lot of time just at gas stations. I had a friend who once had a V-Rod. About 90 miles to a tank was all he could get out of it. Enjoy!

In this case, it would be cheaper and more enjoyable watching the video with a diecast model placed on a table while sipping coffee....
The original is in better nick than the model.
If you have never ridden forward controls like that you are more than ready to get off the bike at 90 miles
That's one beautiful bike!

I have heard the same: A pig on, ... err, I mean, ... a hog on gas.
The model has a lot of solid metal parts. Very surprising. The rear has suspension and the foot controls all spring back. It looks okay on a table top - indeed.
