...so I went to the motorcycle dealership.
Honda, Yamaha, Triumph, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Harley dealer.
I wanted to do some test sits.
Sat on the new Wing - still feels like a good fit for me.
However, what surprised me is what felt even better of a fit. The Harley Road Glide. I was like putting on a tailor-made suit.
Handlebars, feet position, seat height, all were great. What a surprise.
I also sat on a Road King - which had the police seat - what a great seating option that is. Can we get those for our Hondas?
I also tried out a Triumph Tiger and did not like the forward seating position with praying mantis feet. Just did not feel right. Not to mention, it felt heavier than the Wing, despite being 300 lbs lighter.
There was also an Eluder in the showroom. What I did not notice this time was the tank; what I did notice was it was heavy as &%^$ getting it off the kickstand. I also did not like the flat, swept back handlebars.
I guess I did not except to find a Harley that felt so good. My bias? I dunno. I still think a Wing Tour is in my distant future. I like the feel and no one else can beat the flat-six for power and its contribution to handling.
...unless...I keep the F6 and get a used Street Glide ...
