Wind/rain protection is superior on the C14 also, although the RSTD had a huge windscreen, the flow around it was poor and rain pounded my face.
I do miss it in some ways, but I got a new love now.
Plenty to look at, they are so slow and boring you will now really be able to take in the scenery.
Actually, given the same speed and lines through the curves a cruiser is more exciting and requires more skill than a sport bike.

Ive got an 06 Suzuki M109R that I put way too much money into and will keep till I die.. ! But wanted add a bike so I could do some longer trips, SO I just picked up a 08 C14 so now the best of both worlds, I hope.. Just have to get used to the Connie and how to pack stuff for long rides..
Uhhhh . . . no, don't think so. Other than knowing your maximum lean angle before the floorboards start to throw sparks. That's not a "skill."
So, you are saying that a 800 lb cruiser is just as easy to ride through the curves as a 350 lb sport bike?Who makes a 350lb sport bike? a 650 is as small as I will consider a sport bike and most of those are 450lbs. Anything smaller is a trainer.

Plenty of 400 lb SS bikes out there. CBR250 is considered a sport bike and it is 350 lbs. Doesn't matter what you consider a sport bike. I still stand by my opinion that it takes more skill to ride a cruiser style bike through the same set of curves at the same speed as a sport bike. If it didn't, then the superior suspension and handling of a sport bike would be a waste of money.
