I feel that my metric cruiser gives me enough sporty to keep me interested, and a riding position that keeps me comfy. I don't consider myself an agressive rider. But, I really really hate riding in a straight line. I find it very boring. To the thought that all metric cruisers want to be a HD. I find that laughable. I've ridden two HD's. I found both equally terribly in comfort and ridability. Although my wife did enjoy the comfort of the Electra Glide. It's just not what I want in a motorcycle. If and when I am ever to buy another bike it would be a Victory bagger. It would be purchased for the sole purpose of 2 up riding. It was comfortable enough that I could ride long disatnce, and has just enough sportiness that I could throw it through a corner and not wad it up on the other side. That being said. Ride what you want, for the ride you want. And don't be an arrogant prick about it.
