Has anybody had any experience with this bike, I'm thinking of purchasing one. Any help/info would be great

Am I right in thinking the the Sub 30 components are better than what's on the Sportsster P6.. is the Sub 30 worth the extra money ?

    I got one on Tuesday, AMAZING machine, SMASHED my PB by 9 mins (was on a MTB) and hit 40.56 mph (down hill) raised my average speed by a good 3.5 mph.

    DO IT :D

    I got the classic as it was the one with 700c wheels, AFAIK It only comes in brown at Evans (where I got mine)

    I've ridden a P3 and the Sub 30 - both are surprisingly speedy.

    Go for the 700c wheels
