can anyone give me some info on the 01 1500 drifter. I am thinking of trading my H-D Road king for one . But have never owned a Kaw .

Hey there- I've not owned a RK, but I've ridden friends who wanted to ride mine...I prefer the Drifter! If given the choice between the two of them without money being an issue, I'd still opt for the Drifter. -Several reasons. I like the water cooled engine that runs smoother and easier; I like the design of the Drifter- you're not just another HD out in the masses; parts and maintenance are cheap; and everyone looks at the Drifter twice or three times...insurance is cheaper, too.

I have a 2002  which is the same bike.  The only harleys I have ridding were at  the test rides during bike week . I was not impressed  ( I have ridding 8 different models) for bikes  that cost 3 to 5 times more than a Drifter and they were not any better. I really like my Drifter my wife and I put 3000 mile on her this summer going to Maine  she ran and rode great.                                                                                                                                                                      Even though the 1500 is a well engineered bike you buy a drifter for her looks. The down side is parts,  plugs, brake pad and the parts that make the bike work are easy to find ( Kaw has been making the 1500 for a long time). Bags, seats windsheilds the parts you put on to customize your bike are harder to find. Which is why sites like this one and Delphi are so great. Drifters owner are great people and always willing to help. So if you like the Indian look but don't want to spend 40 grand a Drifter would suit you well.

Was riding a RK when I bought my 02... I prefer the drifter for the way I ride .. have a touring bike as well.

Best approach is to read this forum and check out the website. There are plenty of differences.
