    A person can't own enough bikes.
    I need One to suit the personality of the day or trip.
    The F6 is for those sleepy rides, uneventful.
    The HD is more viral, in touch.

    Agree.

    I have a bike for the days I feel like a hooligan. It's my DR650... with that DG Exhaust...

    My observation is when I ride the HD, I focus way more on the bike than the ride. How does it sound, how does it look, what do I want to add to it, what if I upped the performance on it, etc. When I ride the F6B, all I think about is the ride, and enjoy it more. The bike damn near drives itself, it's so smooth and effortless to ride, I don't have to think about it much. I just ride it. When I initially rode a friends F6B, I thought it was boring. Now, I realize it's simply just pleasurable to ride, and I enjoy it much more than the HD. My wife likes the HD, but I would ride the F6B everytime over the HD, and it's an Ultra Limited. With my height, I just don't find many bikes that fit me as well as the F6B does, that gives me the comfort and near perfect ergos. I really don't want to ride any other bikes right now. I thought the Gold Wing might be the same, but I don't think the ergos are right for me.

    I agree 99%, but instead of an HD to get my hot, air-cooled, potato-potato sounding, shake your fillings out thrill... I just pick up a 2000 Confederate Hellcat with a 120ci MERCH stage 3 billet CNC engine, 130+ rwhp...What a rush to twist up the wick on this 400+ lb monster(pic to follow soon) it has as much giggle factor as my 2003 Turbo VTX1800 with 167 rwhp.

    My steel steed stable is now filled with six turn key runners, 2013 F6B, 2003 VTX1800ctro, 2003 VTX1800c Turbo, 05 Rune, 2000 Confederate Hellcat and last, but not lest a 2008 KLR 650 duel sport.
    Builds currently on lifts, 2004 VTX1800r with Turbo, 2004 Rune.

    I keep all the keys to my runners in a bag and grab randomly any key, then ride that scoot for the day if I have no other reason to ride than to get some wind in the face and knees in the breeze... as I try and do every day.

    And that, sir, is why YOU ARE THE MAN!!! That's quite a stable you have there. Looking forward to pics of the Confederate. I love your grab bag key idea. That's awesome.
