    I have posted a few times here, that I miss my Harley. Had a '10 Deluxe, before that '07 RG. I'm watching for a Fat Bob now to go with F6B.

    My V Twin

    I agree with you! My F6B is my primary ride, it is just so comfortable and reliable. I don't worry about if I'm going to have any mechanical issues along the way. I just sit on and ride. That feeling is priceless!

    Sometimes, though, I'm in the mood for a different ride. For that I also enjoy my Harley VRSCF Muscle. This is not your usual HD. It is rated at 125 HP and 86 ft/pounds of torque. It is water cooled. Fast and smooth and also reliable, but weighs about 670 lbs. (mine must be more due to fairing and bags but I don't know exact weight).

    Here is me on it during Memorial Day Weekend up on The Dragon in NC and TN:

    So now I have TWO bikes that I am usually asked while stopped "What is that?"

    The old 113 really was a kick in the azz when ya cracked the wick at ~2500~ rpm! I believe it was 127 ft lbs at the crank, or something like that,,,

    I believe my 09 Stratoliner had a bit smoother riding chassis as well,,,

    Noisy, hot, lacking HP compared to the 6, but still a nice bike! (Lost mine in an accident. )

    I had a M109R that I put a lot of time and $$$ into and I miss it a lot. If I could have kept both I would've. I miss the V-twins rumble with brutal power and torque. Mine was around 120whp & 115ftq, it was a beast! Here is a pic..



    With that being said I wouldn't trade my F6B for anything else on the market right now. I have spent the last year and a ton of dough getting my F6B aka "Darth" exactly suited to my tastes and comfort. This is the best bike I've owned to date. I've owned 4 other bikes, 3 crotch rockets and the 109 but this F6B is exactly what I need for my riding style now ....

    I do miss my Yamaha Road Star.....one of the best bikes I've ever owned. Like driving a Cadillac down the road.

    I still have my VTX 1800. Just drove it. It feels and looks OLD next to my "6".
    Test drove the 2014 ZX14 last week.
    Man, that bike is fun and scary at the same time. When I drove off on my "6" it felt so smooth and comfortable and refined next to the zx.
