I now have a touring bike that is ideal for a couple of bigger folks (me and the miss us) for 2 up touring with loads of top end power and plenty of torque. But I also have an 07 America that, seat of the pants is torquier, quicker, and a whole lot more fun to ride. For shorter hauls (< 300 miles) or smaller folks, cross country, the America is great two up all the way to the load limit and a little beyond

Thom I might be wrong, I sometimes am.
