Neill, first of all I really love my Speedy. It's just plain fun to ride and has served me well for almost 15,000 miles. It would be tough to part with, especially since it's my first bike.
But the Speedmaster a mid-size cruiser and it has it's limitations. I also have a Victory Kingpin and it's been serving us great as a 2-up touring cruiser. Gobs of power & low-end torque in a 100 inch mill, 6 speed transmission with overdrive, superb handling. It out-performs the Speedy all around.
The 8-Ball is a solo cruiser that has the same 100 inch engine, 5 speed tranny, and also handles great.
The Victory dealer is offering an excellent deal. I'm wondering if I should trade in the Speedy while the getting is good. The warranty expires next month and I'll be due for tires soon.
