I am purchasing a 2010 Street Glide I currently ride a 2002 Honda VTX1800 the Vtx has been very good to me, but its time to move on.....will I miss it? being an 1800 it zips along pretty good will this new Harley be able to fill her big shoes!!

 

I don't think you will remember her name.

 

No, yes.

 

You are going to enjoy the handling, looks and feel of the Harley much better. You will very much miss the power. The street glide can not hold a candle to the Honda's power withough massive and expensive mods.

My 1300 is faster and has more lower end than my Road Glide. Given the fact that I like long distance...the Glide is much nicer.... just slower and somewhat lethargic. This difference will be huge coming from the 1800

But to each his own.

Other than the power and the trouble free ride I don't think you'll miss it one bit

 

You will miss it until the first time you crack the throttle back on the Harley.

 

I thought the same thing, I came from a Yamaha FJR 1300, and I do not miss it. Can't figure it out?

 

I think you should stick to your VTX1300 ...But I bet 100 bucks you are not going to listen to me anyways .... good luck on your harley..

 

Like others have said.You'll miss the power.
But,as I've gotten older the speed/power junkie in me has tamed.
I went from a Goldwing to a Heritage with the Evo so the difference was apparent right from the start,but damn....the HD just feels "alive" whereas the GW was just another motorcycle to me.
I don't/didn't drive more than a couple hundred miles in a day so the GW was overkill anyhow.
Welcome to the addiction.

 

I don't think you will miss it...After you get your street Glide...Come back and let us know what you think.
