    Not to mention the reliability.....

    The ride is completely different from the Harley. I had to do a ton of work to my 05' FLHTCSE2 to get enough power to almost be happy and then I could not rely on it to get me home. I would say the largest adjustment would be the riding/knee position between the two bikes. I had two weeks of regrets after buying the bike until my knees adjusted to the new position. Since then I have not looked back at all.

    I completely agree! I had to put a lot of money in my CVO as well to get it to run, the riding position is still kicking my tail.
    I had not ridden mid position in so long I am honestly wondering if I can or even want to get used to it again. My old joints don't seem to like the change. The F6B is overall a great bike with a solid proven platform. Stock to Stock the F6B will out perform most any bike (overall) in my opinion.
    The riding position, lack of cruise, and poor paint are beginning to weigh on me though.

    I love mine but I have read that some long legged guys find it uncomfortable.

    Was getting closer but just took a couple steps back.

    As luck would have it, or bad luck, an hour after they came and picked up the Warrior, I took the Harley out for it's first ride since last fall, a leisurely 20 mile ride, well a couple of miles from home, after leaving from a stop sight to a left turn, something went in the engine. Sounded eerily like it did when a rocker went out and took most of the internals out, 3 years ago. Worst case scenario is that i am bike less till spring, will hate it but the other toys will get some attention.
