[QUOTE="ctfjr, post: 480309, member: 7762"] I've ridden the dragon several times on my 1800, maybe not quite like that - spirited tho. I enjoyed my 03 wing for 4 years. I was really into solo ld riding and 8-900 mile days were cake on it - even with the stock seat. It's a different bike than the fjr and its really silly to try to compare the two, no different than comparing a GS or busa to the fjr. Different reasons for buying either. Quite frankly it got old listening to the not so original one liners - the hondalounger, buick on wheels etc. It is what it is. If you are into serious cross country miles its the bike I would choose. I remember being in a coffee shop and a customer commented about the Honda couch outside, not knowing it was mine. I asked him if he rode. Of course he rode a Harley. I then invited him for a run through the twisties against the couch. When he didn't answer I asked him maybe he wanted to see if he could keep up with me on the slab. When he still didn't answer I suggested he just drink his coffee & stfu. Now I want a more nimble ride that I can farkle up enough to do occasional 800 mile days and I'm willing to give up the 1100 milers. Only you can decide what the best ride is for you.
