They have low maximum lean angles, but they are so intuitive and controllable that you can really use every bit of those angles.<br /><br />Also, they have adequate power, but not so much that they'll take you by surprise.<br /><br />Lastly, at any normal riding speed, the vibration levels are lower than almost anything else you'll find out there. Your hands won't tingle after a couple of hours in the saddle.<br /><br />I was going to write a comment mentioning mine, but I thought it was out of your consideration due to price and size.<br /><br />Newer Harleys are reliable, incredibly comfortable, and highly adjustable to fit you (if you're willing to spend some money).<br /><br />After 17 years of riding a BMW K bike, I bought a Harley Road Glide - I loved my BMW, but I'm even more in love with the Harley. It's just got more "personality".<br /><br />Of course, it's immensely heavy - and you'll learn to NEVER pull downhill into a parking space, and you'll also learn that picking one up can be "interesting".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533085157186763697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-84868036423574143172013-12-31T20:36:30.753-05:002013-12-31T20:36:30.753-05:00Life is to short to ride ugly women and little bik...Life is to short to ride ugly women and little bikes.

Just remember, you said ...<i>Suck it up, cupcake, eh?</i><br /><br />Just remember, you said it first. (grin)<br /><br />You're going to end up on a big bike eventually anyway. Do you want to keep going through this "Can I handle it? Should I try it?" dance every 6 to 12 months? Screw practicality. You already know how to ride; get the bike your heart wants, ride it until you're comfortable, then keep going and don't look back.<br />Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813274491601970838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-10669289244740857412013-12-31T18:53:29.802-05:002013-12-31T18:53:29.802-05:00Nothing like jumping in with BOTH feet (into the d...Nothing like jumping in with BOTH feet (into the deep end no less)!
