I came off an ultra classic, and by far this is the best idea I had in a long time. I've had my 6 for about 3 months and put the miles that I normally put in a year on the bike. I still have an older fat boy, but that gets out less and less. I don't think you would be sorry for the change, just the power is enough to keep you on your toes. I am completely happy with the change.
