Heres the thing. That 950 will do more then plenty that you will ever need it to do and also keep a decent MPG. One thing about the bigger cruisers especially our foreign models is lose effeciency on highway runs. I have the Vulcan 900. I can still eek out near 50 MPG…..if I ride conservatively. Normal riding about 40 + MPG. There is no real gain you will have over the 950 with a bigger bike. You will still be able to go 2 up. Travel extended distances and same accessory options….. also normally same cargo options until you get into full dressers.
Average higher CC motors get an advertised 42 and lower. How many times do you get advertised mileage? Some will most don’t.
