Comments: I absolutely love this bike. I was very excited when I heard that E-H was going to make bikes again, and was very disappointed when the company didn't make it.  When the bikes first came out I wanted one soooo bad, but I was living in Alaska at the time and there were no dealers up there. I ended up buying a new Victory instead. The Super X is much cooler, even if I do have to wrench on it occasionally! It's nice to ride a bike and have people ask, "What's an Excelsior-Henderson?" I would like to reply with "You don't know your history very well do you? "
