I really want to buy a 1500. I just keep reading that the handling is not great in the twisties. I will say that I am not very spirited most of the time and just love to putt along. BUt I would be riding it pretty much every day whether for fun or for commuting so once in a while I get a wild hair up my butt and take a bike to the limit. I also do a yearly trip with lifelong friends and some of them are very spirited when it comes to the mountain roads.
So my question is to anybody that might have a similar bike to my 2 current bikes and how well the 1500 compares to them handling wise. I won't have a problem at low speeds. I am more concerned about cornering at speed such as mountainous roads. I currently have a Vstar 1100 and a C10 Concours.
