Jeff,
Have you ridden any of the the bikes mentioned, several of those mentioned are more sport touring then touring bikes. I think a better statement might be for the
type of riding you like to do, the newer Twin-Cam powered H-D touring bikes are better motorcycles than every one of their competitors.
I rode a buddies street glide and had a passenger on the back. After taking the first set of corners and touching the floorboards, I knew it wasn't gonna work for the type of touring I like to do. They just don't do what I want my motorcycles to do. But I think some of them look pretty nice. He was riding my sport tourer with a passenger on the back as well. He has since sold the street glide and purchased a sport touring motorcycle. He really is more of a sport touring kind of guy.
I will say this though. If you know how to ride. You can make those big Harleys do some amazing things. They are alot more manuverable then some people think.
Oh, I like the orange and black bike.
