So, what about handling? The HD is not going to handle like your Speedy did. What good is more power if you have to roll off the gas for every curve?
For being more than 200 lbs heavier than a S.M. It handles great and is a very stable platform. Most of my riding is done on the highway at 70 to 75 mph and it's got power to spare, no dig on Triumph intended - just suited my needs better.
