Yes sir, a soft tail Heritage is a great tour bike. My friend has been all over the US a couple of times. He is on his second engine for his Heritage.

Gotta side with the Heritage crowd on this one. Just being able to hold something up at a red light isn't the same as actually enjoying it. The Heritage has a great traditional look, large bags, can accept a detachable trunk and several good fairings work with them like DeadCenter, Dragonfly, Hoppe, Woody's and they look good, too

There ain't no such thing as a "girl's bike". I got an old outlaw buddy, black belt in 3 different martial arts, and he rides a Honda with training wheel set up. You gonna tell him he's on a girl's bike set up? I don't think so man. To ride is all that matters. We just went from full blown touring Electraglides to the Deluxes. Best move we ever made. You can steer 'em with your knees and they are 27" from the ground. They are a perfect ride for the vertically challenged. My wife switched out the stock seat for a 2010 Heritage Softail seat and she loves it. Get the Deluxe and laugh at all the jerks that call it a girls bike while they struggle with their ********* trying to justify riding a bagger that they can't handle.
