I'm 45 and love my Street Glide, but I want more. I have owned and ridden many Japanese bikes, and came from sport bikes. If Harley wants to appeal to the next generation, and guys like myself, they need to give us more for the money. 100 hp and good suspension is not too much to ask. The vibration at idle is nothing, mine is smooth when I'm riding, which is what matters to me. I have never ridden a Japanese bike that didn't have a buzz through the bars at one rpm or another, usually right at the cruise rpm. I do want a mono shock rear that gives me a reasonable amount of travel and handling like any modern day bike should have. The new softail line was huge step in the right direction, Now keep it going with the touring line.
