Hey Glider, that was before I went to Jenny Craig. I look much better now.

Not the size of the bike verses the rider...as it relates to personal fit and choice...! A bike with close to 1000cc displacement is NOT a small bike...and certainly has plenty of torque and horsepower to do the deed well. Personally a bike does not have to feel or be "big" to perform. Ergos are the key here, that is why there is so much aftermarket stuff for ANY bike you get because one size does not fit all.
This year most 100HP bikes or more especially racers in street clothes are fitted to running gear that was 600-800cc sized not longer than 2 years ago. Just that HD has not changed the look and feel of their models of available motorcycles on purpose...just offer a basic machine and let the aftermarket take care of the rest. The model of bike has very little to do with how it fits you size wise as much as how it fits your APPLICATION. Obviously if your going solo you have more choices...but two-up WILL leave you wanting if you choose to ride a Sporty rather than a larger bagger, so think about what your future needs are and plan accordingly as to which model would suit your purpose.
