Ok, so i saw a really nice looking bike parked up on the pavement as i was driving by the other day and i just had to turn my car around and take a second look. Problem was that it was just pulling away ahead of me by the time i turned around :(

It was a low slung drag looking bike, kinda harley davidson looking with the chrome, but it did look like a production bike rather than a custom bike. It really shifted up the road but didn't have the jap sports bike sound but rather the smooth and quiet harley waft to it.

It looked very similar to this Harley Vrod muscle but more curvy and sleek looking.

Any idea what it might have been?

Ducati Diavel perhaps? The only cruiser I would even consider owning. Not sure the OP has ever seen a drag bike however, they are not exactly similar to a cruiser.
 
V-rod are meant to be in competition with the Victory Hammer S right?

And the Victory judge due out next year is meant to target the Harley X1200R I think.
 
It definitely wasn't the yamaha vmax or Ducati diavel. It was very low down, white in colour and long like a drag/chopper bike but it had fairing and chrome together which i thought was unusual. It didn't have the long handlebars or forks of a chopper but the rest of the bike did have a similar stance.

Are they really that bad? I quite like the look of the 883 myself.

I thought the same until i owned one. Had it around 8 months and thought it was rubbish. Build is not good,brakes are shocking, "rubber mount engine" still shock me to death. Ride was very harsh.
If you still fancy one then go for the 1200 with a little bit more grunt.
