I wouldn't be surprised if most who rode a touring bike would decide to change their minds as well.
Exactly why I sold my Soft tail. Was a sin to have it just sit. I could never go back.

Hmm... Well, let's see. Had I not broken my back in '96 then screwed up other stuff overseas -AND- I hadn't gained about 40 pounds since leaving the military -AND- money were no object. I'd probably have a Ducati 1299 Panigale S.

And if money were REALLY no object, a Vincent Black Shadow and/or a Brough Superior SS100.

It would have to be something besides Harley since I can't stand the vibration of a non-balanced motor.
Even the 2017 RK I tried had too much vibe to suit me.

I have a Street Glide to ride when I don't feel like the bar hopping Softail I have. If both were gone, I'd get another FXLR.

Mate of mine has done exactly that! It's the 48 next to the CVO. He's just spent over Ł2k binning the EFI and going back to carburettor.

I would be on a Road King. Bought the Heritage because the rear engine guards bothered my wife's legs as a passenger. The Heritage was a close second so that what I got. I love my Heritage so it was a good choice.
