Default heritage vs street glide

I took a 14 street glide out for a 20 minute ride. I like my 09 heritage better ride wise. I think the info center on the street is nice but I can see where it would be distracting. I'll keep the softail for a while longer.

Sweet! I test rode a vrod and it was really cool. The engine was totally amazing especially in the high revs and smooth from idle to the high gear.

If you have the means, get the touring bike too. It works for me.

I did the same thing recently. Test rode a SGS '14 and fell in love with it. But not my wife. Was in the doghouse for a couple of days when I told her about my plans. Not to say I don't love my Heritage anymore. I still think that is one sweet riding and handling bike. But you know how it goes. The boys and their toys. We boys need always new toys.
