I rode dirt bikes as a kid and have had a couple of dual sports in the last few years and enjoyed riding them on the street, so I decided that I would get something more suited for riding on the street. I did some looking and really liked the look of the Chief Dark Horse so, I ended up buying one about a month ago. I have ridden this thing almost daily for a month and I just cant get used to it. Compared to the smaller bikes I have ridden, it is feels big, heavy,sluggish and awkward. I am so used to sitting upright, having the tank between my knees and not even thinking about any cornering, stopping, swerving, I just do it, it feels natural. Now, with this bike, It feels like every turn I make I have to concentrate on getting it to go where I want. The way I sit on it, with feet forward, feels unnatural, like I am not ready to make any type of defensive maneuvers if I needed to. Anyone else ever feel this way? Will I eventually get used to it? I am hoping I did not make a mistake buying this thing. Any advice would be appreciated.
