Test rode a 2011 during a new dealership opening. I like the bike, but I had a few issues with it,
and it was enough for me to turn my back to it. First, I kept hitting the rev limiter, just so used to my Connie, 2nd, no
weather protection, and I felt like a kite catching all the wind throughout the ride. When we got back to the dealership
about 40 minutes later, I was feeling fatigued from the resistance, guess I'm really spoiled. 3rd, the seating position
put all my weight on my tailbone, so an all day ride would probably kill me. It is a great looker, and completely different
from a sport tourer, a good cruiser, just not for me.
In my opinion, the C-14 is highly superior to the Stratoliner, in every way, so make sure if you trade, that you get
cash too..
