That's absolutely the truth. However, nothing like cutting a curve or a corner close on a sporty, that I miss. Yeah, well, I'll remind myself of that the next time I'm in the 5th hour of a road trip.

Yep... the Sporty was just right for the twisties and bar hopping rides. Been riding those types of bikes all my life. This was the 1st time I even got on a touring bike and its a totally different ride. Already have a couple of long trips planned. First one will be from FL to KY with the wife aboard.

Bought my first bagger last Wednesday, A 2000 Road King with a new 103 engine and a six speed. 35k on an 07' softail custom which is now for sale. Who would have dreamed the difference in comfort. All I can say is WOW!
