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....

If you have never ridden forward controls like that you are more than ready to get off the bike at 90 miles

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.
