I would personally get the X Bones or the night Rod. I travel quite a bit and rent bikes all the time. I have a bones as my own so I'm a little biased but because I rent Harley's when I travel I would highly reccomend getting some seat time on a Xbones. However, when I rent I usually get a night rod because they are so much fun. Just my .02 cents, you really can't go wrong with any of them. If the weather is good you will hate having a windshield.

Where will you be in Florida? we may be able to give you some suggestions.

Whatever you do, do NOT ride the new Street Glide. It will make you go trade in one of your other bikes.

I wouldn't go that far, but it would not be a bad choice.
Personally I would avoid the Nightrod if your planning any extended riding.
Maybe its just the way I fit on it, but I don't and its not very comfortable for long.
All the rest are almost a toss up but the next best IMHO might be the RK.
