Finally after 1 yr. my husband decided to let me ride his 1300R I started out 1yr. ago with a 500 Vulcan to learn to ride. Mastered that fairly well then bought a 750 spirit have been riding the 750 since December . Yesterday got enough nerve to hop on thr 1300 and loved it the ride was so smooth.Went and traded my 750 off for a 1300C today. Pam
