By asking this question in the softail section you have already made your choice. Get what speaks to you and what you want otherwise you'll spend all your time justifying the choice. Oh but it was cheaper. Oh but it's faster. Oh but I got a better deal. In reality, you just got something you didn't want. Get the deuce. Don't worry about it being too fast or too big. You'll get used to it soon.

I was told before I bought my Sportster that I will be trading up for a larger Bike. I am also 5'11" and I felt a little too large on the Sporty. I had it 8 months before I picked up my 05 Night Train. You wont regret the bigger bike. Trust me.

I traded my Sporty for a Deuce after 5 months. The Sporty was much quicker, but the Deuce is a much better ride. If you buy the Sporty you will want to trade up soon after. The Deuce is much easier to ride and handle. I kept putting money into my Sporty to try to make it like the 'big' bikes, and then decided just to go buy one. Don't make the same mistake I did. Just get the Deuce now and get it over with. You'll be glad you did!
