For the RC: I like thumping twins and wanted something with more grunt than a 600, but less power than a 1000. Something that would turn better than my cruiser and I could take to TDs.

For the VTX: I got the cruiser because it was much more comfortable than my Shadow (for me at least) and I needed to replace my then recently deceased Shadow. And I will never have a need for cruiser bigger than this one. This one I pretty much bought because it was comfortable and I can avoid the stigma of being a "damn sportbiker" if I so desire.
