Please tell me how that's having the "best of both worlds"???? that thing looks uncomfortable as hell!!! I would much rather ride a fast harley than that.

I'm not saying it doesn't look pretty sweet, but as far as comfort goes it doesn't look like something you can ride for hrs on end.

By best of both worlds I meant it has V twin power in a sportbike chassis. It wasn't built for comfort. It was built to go fast, which it does very well, because not only does it go fast, but it handles well too. Rwnisen's bike would be much better for the long trip thing then mine.

I got the heritage for long trips!
