[QUOTE="danh600, post: 1387232, member: 86538"] I have a 2010 Honda Interstate. It's the VT1300 that replaced the VTX1300 that was around for so long. The interstate is the "touring" model. Basically it has a windshield, hard bags and floor boards. It didn't even have a luggage rack on the back. And with the small gas tank you better start looking for gas around 100 miles if you are on the slab. It's slow, heavy, has terrible wind turbulence, no lean angle, squirrly at anything >80mph but it's fine as a cruiser. It's not a great touring bike. I like it for short day rides around South Florida. I have been on long trips with it, but that was before the FJR. Personally I would never have a cruiser to use as a touring bike again. I sat on a Vaquero once. Took it off the kick stand. It felt so heavy and unbalanced I put it back on the stand and wrote it off as a bike I would ever own. Never even rode it. [/QUOTE]
