Well, coming to the "Touring" Forum to ask to be talked out of getting a touring bike, is like an alcoholic going to Microbrewer forum and asking for help to stop drinking
Test 1 and decide what you think. You may love it, you may hate it. Give it a shot
I went from sportster to electra glide and kick my self for not doing it years ago. The ride on the touring bikes is .................................................. ...................great

Don't do it! Once you spend some quality time on her, you will then be asking yourself, "what the hell was I thinkin' riding that Sporty for all these years?". You must be getting "older".
