ok - I asked my wife if I looked "stupid" or out of proportion on my 1996 LS650 when i got it...she said if i say yes you will get rid of it and if I say no you will keep it right?......I said well your honest opinion does matter she said i did not look stupid...6'1" 410lbs (not wearing hi-vis apparel)......and i wear a hi-vis yellow coat and hi-vis yellow a$$less chaps when i ride (in cold weather) so if anyone is going to look stupid it would be me.....but i like my bike it feels right for me but this is also my first bike ever - i intend to ride it for at least 5 years and then move up to a twin cylinder bike 850 to 1200cc.....

As others have said it's your opinion that matters but you can't really have an informed opinion unless you've ridden some other bike so why not get out and do some demo riding? I really enjoy trying other bikes. My last demo was a Triumph Thunderbird. I think most Triumph dealers do demos. Harley has run a "ride any bike" promotion for the last two summers. Other demo events can be found online. After just a couple rides you'll know if bigger is better for you.

Im confused as to how a 600lb cruiser is supposed to turn better? I understand that how a bike carries its weight is important as well as rake and suspension, tires, etc... but still a lighter bike will usually corner better than a big heavy cow.
