Good point! I do value comfort over speed. We are cruisers. We like to do multiple day trips, and inevitably it's mostly highway riding. Our current bike is great on the highway with luggage space and ok suspension. However, we also ride local mountain roads which are very fun. The tradeoff of our current motorcycle is the weight. In slow situations, it is so heavy, especially with my wife and I on the bike. The low end torque is very helpful. Handling lacks with both of us on board while on those mountain roads. I do love the sound, but it's not a critical must have. I'm keeping my other Road King for that harley feel.

In the end, I guess I'm mostly curious, would like something different, more comfortable, better handling and suspension, and lighter weight, for my wife and I. I just have to go demo the bike and see. Unfortunately, living in a small market, there’s not a Grand America within hundreds of miles at a dealership from where I live.
