    Harley Demo truck vs our F6

    Man, I have owned two HD Roadglides. One standard with mods and one 2012 CVO Road Glide and both were nice bikes so when I say this I'm not by any means slamming the brand. I went to the HD demo ride today and rode four bikes and they were all really nice bikes. I rode a CVO Breakout, a Road Glide, a Street Glide and a V-Rod Muscle. Of all four the most fun was the V-Rod. After all of the riding I still came back to what a great bike we own in the F6B. The F6 is almost a combination of everything that I rode today. It is so smooth, fast and it handles great.

    I considered many bikes last few weeks, the F6B is one of if not the finest road bike available today. And makes me look good. Thats a feat in its self.

    I agree 1000%, it makes me look and be a better rider than what I am.

    I've owned three Ultra Classics never a road glide. The F6B is my first fixed fairing motorcycle and I agree completely with your statement. I've test driven a few HD road glide models and I always felt as if I was getting blown off the bike with so much wind coming from the forks. For me the Ultra CVO was disappointing after a test ride last summer. The F6B is quite the bike, mine has cruise control which I use all the time and I never feel as if I'm getting blown off the bike. Talk about power, the F6B must make twice the power of the HD. My limited gets down the road okay, but that's about it. Two up passing on a flat road works. On steep hills two up, the thing is lame to say the least. The HD 103 is better than the 88 or 96 I've had. Still very weak for heavy road bike. I found this F6B 0-125 mph video on youtube. This tells it all.

    I've got an 09 night rod which is fun to ride, but the F6 out accelerates it, handles better, and brakes better.

    The only thing I can criticize is that the F6 can be a bit soulless.

    I'd definitely buy another.

    I had the chance to ride a 2015 Limited this weekend, actually I was letting the owner ride mine as he was told the GL frame was far superior. All I can say is the guy is looking to sell two H.D.'s to get one GL. As far as the Limited...what a pig! Not enough power to pull a sick whore off a piss pot, no suspension, brakes were better than my O3 Ultra, the radio is best of show but you can put the rest in the recycle box.

    Since my Harley is so old (21 years) I guess I just don't expect her to compete with my 6 - and she can't, even though she makes 80hp with 80cu in.
    However, she is carbureted and when the global EMP hits, she might still work.

    It's like lettuce and cabbage. They kinda look the same, kinda feel the same, but they are two completely different entities.

    I love that analogy I'm going to use that one.
