Thats the point I make. If you are running two up with a good load of gear/luggage and you want the kind of response to really move out and pass another vehicle "right now" then a bike with more sheer grunt is probably more in line.
I know at least one Speedmaster owner in town who recently bought a used Rocket 3. He says the same thing. He can carry his pillion and as much gear as he wants and the bike shrugs it off like a bear swats a gnat. he can twist the throttle at just about any gear and the bike takes off like a shot.
The bigger Honda metrics are not going to respond like a Rocket but they will be better than ours in the response regard with a full load.
You cant get that response from ours. But of course our bikes are much more handsome than all the rest.
