My first new H-D I bought back in the 80's was when dealers still had a bunch in the showroom so I decided to sit on all of them to see which one felt "right" before I went for a test ride. 

Turned out to be a plain Jane FXST but I always loved the ride. Everyone has a favorite look but only you can decide what feels right!  Have fun!

Read up a bit on this bike..sounds like it has tons of technology, but does appear to be too comfortable..yes I like power and bells and etc. but I must also be comfortable..it may be just me, but the BMW's just don't look comfortable... ;)
