Quick opinion on Freewheeler-

Lots of good things about the Freewheeler, but some things to think about before you spend this much

I didn't take the time to watch this, but I can tell you that I LOVE my 2020 Freewheeler.

I also loved my 2015 Freewheeler that I traded for it.

My Ladyona Mission - you have an absolutely beautiful Freewheeler.

I watched part of his tape - as he said, it is just his opinion.

He has good points but doesn’t mean you can’t tour on the Freewheeler.

Does a 2,500 mile trip on a '21 Freewheeler count as a tour?

IMO yes, my 2 trips to MN and back were 2,800 miles each round trip

My Freewheeler carried all the things I needed, while not a Triglide I bought it for the hot rod styling

I would ride it coast to coast no problems

I think so. I rode my 2015 Freewheeler 5,462 miles through 10 states in three weeks as well as many other trips.

I mean if people can tour on a 883 Sportster, touring is touring. If the bike fits your needs get on it and tour.

Opinions are like anuses - everybody has one.

My anus says:

1. I have hated the Batwing Fairing since it was invented.

2. I ride a motorcycle to listen to the music of the engine, not to play air-guitar.

3. Many cross-country riders of the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's would disagree with his assessment of how much storage space one needs to tour.

We took our first road trip on the trike last year. I have always used the 3 day rule when traveling. 3 days worth of clothing and essentials in a bag plus what I have on. My wife was introduced to this on our bike trip. LOL. We have traveled plenty in the past but in the truck so space was not a concern. We have 2 bags the fit perfectly in the trunk, they are actually made and sold as such. I can fit 3 days in mine with room left. She learned she could fit 3 days in hers and utilize my "extra" space for what else she thought she needed.

I also have a tour-pack rack bag that I haven't had to utilize yet but probably will on our next trip. I could fit every bit of this in/on a Freewheeler without issue. My wife would be the only one with issues as she wouldn't be able to sleep on the back of the FW. LOL. You can "tour" on anything if that's what you have and that's what you want. This guy is more opinionated than a politician.
