I traded in an '09 Vulcan 900 Custom on my 1100 and I am so much happier. As you're aware, a cruiser is compromised when it comes to suspension travel in order to get the low seat height, and as a result your butt/spine pays the price for "looking cool." I must have been in denial about this, because when I was on my way to get the eleven, that Vulcan was crashing over every bump I hit and I thought to myself, "Why have I been putting up with this?" Comparatively speaking, the 1100 is lighter, faster, quicker, handles better, rides better...I have no regrets at all.
