Hello, how is everyone here doing? As the title of this thread indicates I live in Horseheads, NY. Anyone from Horseheads in here? Anyway I am considering buying a CTX1300. I currently own a Buell XB9s and a 1980 Sportster. Neither one of them is really good for a long ride as I can't really put big bags on either one. Currently I take the Buell if I have long rides to take but I pretty much have to wear what I bring.
Anyway, I am basically looking for information about what you owners have seen/liked/disliked about the CTX. Things like how comfortable it is, and how manageable the weight of the bike is to move around being that it weighs 700 lbs. +. I will eventually take a test ride but I find that other people pointing out things helps me to be aware of certain things as you don't get much of a ride to determine if this $16,000 bike is right for you. specially since its main role is to be a long trip bike. Keep in mind that I am about 5'8" and about 195 lbs.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
