I had no problems doing 80+ all day on my FLHP, but it is more comfortable on my RG.

80+ is no problem here either. Welcome to the tank.

That is one bad ass bike. As much as I love my glide I could be talked into that bike

Absolutely awesome machine, that Ducati - but an altogether different animal than a Road Glide.
To each their own, but if I wanted a 450-pound, 160-hp monster to tear up the twisties I wouldn't have a Roadie and make it try to be the same... it just can't.
I could see, however, having both.

Ran 80+ from Abilene,Tx to El Paso, Tx in 115 degree heat. Bike ran like a champ. That's gotta be what Hell feels like. The HD V Twin is pretty much built proof if taken care of properly.
