harley requires a huge security deposit to rent for a day. on top of it aint cheap. if I can find a dealer that will let me test ride I will know instantly if I like it or not.
I know victory does free test rides. I will be test riding one after I heal up from my bike accident.

Be willing the spend up to $1000 on a custom seat that she like and don't be worried what it look like, and she will be comfy on anything.

I would agree with the sport-touring bikes for sure. but I know my in-laws have ridden for years on the stock seats they got with their harley. I have yet to sit on a victory with her on back so I don't know what she'll think of the seat. but we will see.

thanks.
for a quick look at my riding habits. . . I put about 50+ miles every week day during the summer on my bike. on the weekends I vary a lot. I ended up putting almost 12k in the last year on the bike. That includes a 4 month stint over seas. I just love to ride. some days I get on the bike and end up putting 200 miles or more with no where to go.
if I can be comfortable at 30 degrees I would ride. and that's why I'm looking for a bike with good wind protection. that's comfortable for long distances, and can pack a weeks worth of cloths in.
