first real road test

[tinknocker]

FINALLY! I was able to take my new"faster than red whiplash black" 6 on a ride. Only got 20 miles in after work with some wicked wind up here. My first impression is holey cow why did I keep my Harley so long. The power is crotch rocket like, the smoothness has to be unparalleled. WOW I can't wait till spring. I will be riding solo for a while before taking a passenger just so I can get used to a different bike. I believe I made the right choice in bikes but many of you sound like you agree with that already. 'all/right':041::clap2::cheers:

Night and day difference between and H.D. and the F6 !!!! One is not better than the other ...just different!

[Cheesyryder]

I'm not looking back!!

Definitely 2 different machines and I do still love Harleys. I will never regret owning my Harley I really liked that bike but the comfort and performance of the 6 are night and day better although you are taking 19 yrs newer and FI instead of carb.I'm not looking back either.

Boy you're getting diplomatic in your later years. C'mon Steve!:stirthepot:

I got one of each. Yes they are different. Neither is "better." Each has a mission and purpose.
Can a screwdriver be "better" than a socket wrench? Different tools for different jobs.

Define any job specifically enough and one tool will rise as the "better" of all the options.
Keep it more generic - while selling the wife on the concept - and enjoy both worlds as desired.
Cheers,
Steve

20 years of Harley. I did not think to change. Then one day I did. I do not regret.

I rode Harleys for over a decade and wonder why I waited so long to make the switch back to Honda. These bikes are so different from each other that comparisons aren't really fair. All I will say is that my Harleys had really nice and shiny chrome and paint.
