So my wife just upgraded from her Boulevard 800 to a street glide with a 103... Now I had an ultra classic before getting the "b". I picked it up after work last week as we purchased it about 5 min from my shop. While I absolutely loved the riding position, being seated more in the bike than on the bike. I could have one of those and be happy however the one thing I would definitely miss is that my "b" wouldn't walk away from that bike it would flat out run away from it... My buddies that have Harley's have even told me how much power those 103's have and now I just need to laugh at them.

Yep, My buddy has one of those 103's.
He was very impressed with power of the B.

Have had a Street glide for a while and I can tell you the B is way faster.
I will not ride it in the summer months because of the heat it gives off.

That reminds me of a quote I read a few years ago:

'Harley Davidson: The most efficient way to convert gasoline into noise without the byproduct of horsepower.'

My wife also rides a 103 Street Glide, when I ride her bitch, she is so amazed and always comments about the power and handling of the quiet B...

This is the PERFECT description!!! I've always said, that Harleys make more "parking lot" horsepower than any other motorcycle. That quote is GREAT!

Had a 2010 Street Glide and traded it in for a 2013 Road Glide and was caught in traffic in the rain, on my way down to Fla., and between the rain, heat from the 103 I was steaming like a lobster. Arrived in Fla. went to Rick Case Honda and traded the RG in for a brand new F6B. First ride, having never been on a Goldwing, when you crack the throttle the "Holy Sh*t" moment occurs, like being fired out of a cannon. Harleys are nice bikes as long as you keep moving and soon they'll be an import.

Actually dear Brewdog, the F6B is the PERFECT chick bike. :)

We have a private fb group for ladies on F6Bs and we are up to 33 members!!!!!! (Although I'm pretty sure one of them is actually 53 in a wig.)

I've tried to get her to trade it in on a "B" but she still unsure. I'll keep working on her.
