It's an animal of a time machine. It's easy to do 500 mile days, and in hills/trees/curves! It's very seldom you have to downshift unless you want to run in sport mode, it's a semi truck with torque. It's simplicity electronics wise is another reason I like the bike. I have NO desire for any of that fancy smanshy HD or Indian electronics! Just another distraction and something to break. My knees get to aching after awhile, but a couple minute stretch on the highway pegs now and then cures that.
Is it the bike perfect? No. Do I have gripes? Yes. But, the pros FAR outweight the cons. I sold my FLTRU, no regrets. I still have my old iron that suits me to a T, but for long distance, high speed touring? The B is damn hard to beat!
