[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 2604729, member: 4307"] Since you didn't mention a budget ... The HD 15's are hitting the showroom floors right now. Haggle for a deal on a 14 if you want to try for new they want the 2014 inventory to move, that's a lot of money tied up when the new model year is out on the floor side by side. How much saddle bag do you need? Weekend trips or just around town and need to stuff a few things in the bag? See about snapping up a used FLD Dyna Switchback, they are hitting the secondary market now. VTX has been mentioned it will have the RK style leg room. I don't believe they have a bagger version, you'll need to add bags. Don't count the gold wing out as has been mentioned they have a very low cg and excellent weight distribution and you would be surprised by the actual minimal weight difference. Someones already mentioned the top 3 for sport tourers, but if your looking for Road King type legroom you won't get it on those. My uncle rides one of the 2 liter vulcans, I thought it was heavy and unwieldy and poorly balanced. That's the limit of big bikes bikes I have any personal experience with. Everything else I have ridden through the years has been standards, cafe converted standards and sport bikes. Used Harley Davidson bikes are getting to be a little more reasonable, people are waking up to the fact that it's not the 90's anymore there's not a 6 month wait list at the dealer to buy a new one so the used market prices have gotten better, unless you want a CVO... and even then they aren't bringing what they used too [/QUOTE]
