Default 1600 Classic -VS- 1600 Nomad

I went on a short ride with a guy on a Vulcan 1600 Classic (I ride a 1600 Nomad). And on the way back we stopped for lunch and decided to switch bikes for the last 20 miles.

My first impression was that I hate riding without a windshield ! Which is funny because when we finished his first comment was how he loved my big ole' Nomad windshield

But the stange thing I noticed was that my Nomad seemed more nimble, especially on the slow speed parking lot stuff. I sorta expected them to feel the same or perhaps that the Classic would be the easier handling ride. But I really felt my Nomad was better. Obviously, this could all just be a function of my being more familiar with my own bike. But I just wondered if anyone else had notice this ?
