I've owned/commuted/raced my Warrior for about 8 years now. Late last season I got a hell of a deal on a VTX1800. I wasn't looking for another motorcycle but this was one of those "can't pass it up" deals (about $2500 under book, less than 5500 miles). I was going to flip it but the VTX is more comfortable than the Warrior, so I'm keeping it - at least for now. I like the VTX but LOVE the Warrior.

Coincidentally I just test rode a 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad yesterday and was grinning like a complete idiot the whole time. Recently serviced and with less than 19000KM, I think I found my new bike.

When I was 23 I did a 2000KM journey from Saskatchewan to Vancouver in 36 hours and was sore for days afterwards despite frequent stops and stretches. Never doing that again, unless I have a bike that is comfortable enough. I said it screw it and went with the Vulcan Nomad on Thursday and spent all day riding it and it never not felt luxuriously comfortable for that entire duration. I still get tingles thinking about riding a Warrior but the Vulcan can really rip and until I actually have a niche it could fill or get promoted at work then it will have to wait on the back burner.
