I think we can be a bit biased when it comes to any one bike (since they're all fun machines) and it probably comes down to where we're at in our life, health and happiness.
I've owned H-D's since Oct., '74 when I bought my first.....a '75 Gold XLH Sportster and I've owner several since the AMF days.
By far, I put more miles on my '00 Ultra (77,000 miles) than any other bike that I've owned.
I still (and will always) have my '98, 95th Anniversary Edition Heritage Springer and I still have my current "road bike", a '13 CVO Ultra that I really like.
All that said, but considering the price I paid for it, and the amount of time and the amount of miles that I rode it, and the price I sold it for, the bike that I got the most enjoyment out of was my '87 Softail Custom Wide Glide.
A few issues here and there with it and while the newer bikes are definitely more reliable and more powerful now, I'll probably never get as much enjoyment out of another bike as I did that one.

Good on you for keeping the springer. I should have had as much forethought.
