I know what you mean. I have an 04 "A." I start having trouble with my feet at 120. I don't have that trouble with my Ultra. It won't do 120. I had it indicate 108 once though. (LOL)
As far as comfort is concerned, the V-Rod is a good day bike. Don't compare it to an Electra-Glide for comfort, but if you have friends with a Ducati or a ZX10 or any sport bike, ask them to go on a 300 mile round trip some Saturday. They will more than likely decline.
The V-Rod is a damn fine and very unique machine. The only people who "bash" it are the ones who don't own one.

I've had my 09 VRSCAW twice - I traded it in 2010 for a 2010 Road King -
18 months of ownership of that "Road King" was enough for me - I started looking for another bike - I missed the VRod almost immediatedly after I traded it in. I looked at a Muscle but it did not fit me the way my AW did. I went back to the orginal dealer and "low and behold" my original 09 VRod was still at the dealer that I traded it in at.....
I got them to let me test ride my old bike again - it had 10,200 miles on it when I traded it and still had 10,200 when I tested it. I had it out for about 3 hours - and traded the RK on the spot.....They wanted the RK and I wanted my old VRod so it was a "Win/Win" situation. I had a huge credit
due from the trade - so it was a great deal.
Anyway - I really missed the power speed and unique look of the VRod
IMO there is not another bike on the road like it....certainly not in the HD line.
Riding is a lot of fun once again.

I'm happy for you, but I've had many different bikes and the only one that was less comfortable was a Sportster. But for the first 2 or 3 hundred miles of a ride, the VROD was by far the most fun. If my FLD could run like a VROD I'd be a happy(and comfortablr)rider!
