|  Intruder 1400 seems lighter than the Volusia
I recently bought a 1400 intruder. Before I was riding a Volusia 800. The dry weight on both is aproximately the same. When I start to lean on the Volusia, I have to work a little to keep it up, especcially if I have a passenger. But on the 1400, I don't have this problem as much. Also I can roll it around in neutral easier, like backing it out of the garage and parking spaces. On the Volusia if there is the slightest bit of incline, I can't back it out by myself, at least not while sitting on it. I seem to be able to push the 1400 back without any problems. Just wondered if anyone else that had ridden both has noticed this. Also when riding, an this is a con for the 1400, it rides rougher, like a lighter bike would. I notice more bumps and grooves in the road that I don't seem to affect the Volusia. Thanks, JD |
