Well I just sold my sportster, and I'm looking for a more comfortable ride. Looking at either honda 1300, Kawa 1600 vulcan or the dyna superglide. Kinda want fuel injection. If anyone has either please let me know which one is the best.

I don't know the year of your sportster but I have ridden older models and did not like the ride at all. When I have test rode the 2004 Sportster, I found that the newer models have a much smoother ride because of the rubber motor mounts. I did have to change the stock seat for a touring seat and now I am loving it. I do take long rides on it and don't have any problems. It is my understanding, the 2007 Sportster also has fuel injection. If you want to get a bigger bike that is comfortable and made for touring, the super glides, electraglides, and road kings are the bikes to get. You will never get the support you get by being a "HOG" member. It's like being a part of one big family. I also own a Goldwing, this is my bike I use when my wife and I ride together since the Sportster is not made for couples. Eventually, hopefully by the end of the year I will also be moving up to a touring Harley. If You can wait until November or December you will find them more affordable since the dealers will be trying to make room for the newer models. We've been shopping around and decided to wait until this summer is over and people start trading in their bikes for newer ones. Another option is to check out the car dealers that also sell bikes, many times you can get a Harley for a really good price and even bargain with them on the price since their main products are 4 wheeled vehicles. To get the best deal means to be patient and do some research. Good luck on your search.

Ride them all, then pick. The Superglide is injected since last year, if not earlier. I found the stock seat uncomfortable, it didn't put me where I like to sit. No problem, most people change them anyway. The 88" has good power, if you get an '07, it'll have a 96". That 6-speed trans is sweet. I can't tell you if the Superglide is better, just that I like it. I haven't ridden the others.

Ride all three and then decide for yourself.
Oh, and starting with the 2007 model year, ALL H-D bikes are fuel injected, even the sportsters!

For comfort and fuel injection, I'd go with the Suzuki Boulevard 90. That's 90 cubic inches, 1500 cc's.
