Did you find much of a difference as far as ride quality and handling?

The ride quality is much smoother an wife even notice the difference in the ride. The handling is good with the bike but not quite as quick to respond. Of course this is a new bike to me. So in handling I am not pushing it as hard as I do one that I have ridden for a while. This bike just seems to fit me better.

No way is the wife going to ride on seat in pic. I use that seat when by myself. I bought the sundowner seat an detachable sissy bar/luggage rack assembly for when she rides with me.
