This doesn't help the OP's question, but, all I know is, I rode my friends Roadmaster for a couple of backroad miles at his suggestion. He loves his and wanted me to try it. I couldn't wait to get my bike back. He said mine was ok, but wanted his back too. He likes his adjustable windshield, being a lot shorter than me. It just shows you that everyone is different and the perfect bike is an individual taste. I'm no perfectionist in handling and ride comfort. I haven't touched mine and am happy. The Indian was heavy and loud. I didn't have the time or expertise to critique it much more than that. I just think the Honda is the perfect bike for me.
