If you weigh 200 pounds a Volusia may be right for you. But if you are going to be riding a passenger and luggage, it may not. You may want to go bigger. I got a volusia and my wife and I did fine around town, but when we went on a trip with luggage, there were some noticeble handling difficulties that a bigger bike could have handled. I've since bought a 1400. Not as comfortable as the Volusia I must say, but plenty of power. The LC 1500 has plenty of power. It's just a bigger version of the Volulsia.
Judging by your weight, if you are not going to be ride two up and carrying a passenger very much, then the Volusia is a good bike.
