If you can... Keep the Honda. You are going to love riding your Harley so much that if it would need repair the riding withdrawal you'll experience can be at least soothed by the Honda. :-)

You got to test ride the Harley you are thinking about. This month most dealers are offering demo days. Just don't buy it for looks alone.

I had metric cruisers in a past life. Do I miss them? HEEELLL NO! All they are is distant memories.

I miss almost all of my previous rides.
There are other motorcycles out there worthy of affection besides Harleys

I miss every bike I ever sold, there was something about each of them. I never sell a gun once I own it. Think I'm going to do the same with bikes.

You will miss some parts of it yes. The Harley is much slower and heavier.

There is a reason you went to the dark side... and I am betting you won't look back. Report your thoughts after the first 1000 miles or 1 month, whichever comes first!
