Any Audace owners out there?

[Tom]

I looked that the 1400 line-up.  The Custom maybe.  The Touring, no.  The Eldo, possible.  The Audace is more likely.  It fits my style of riding.  I like the Audace red.  Anyone have one?

I still love my custom after 2 years of ownership, there are some outrageous deals on leftover 2014's out there. Not so sure about the Audace. Have you taken a test spin yet?

I bought one last May, not red but with red cylinder head covers. Initially, I had hart time to choose between Custom and Audace but my wife picked Audace as better looking bike. This is my first bike ever, so my opinion about riding it may be not very helpful or objective. About month ago I bought 09 California Custom and this allows me to fully appreciate both bike for what they are. Audace is fast, requires your full attention when riding fast but it is very rewarding if you are after that type of rides. I enjoy very much the ergonomics of the Audace, footpegs and handlebar somehow feels very good in comparison to CalVin. California is very lay back in comparison, doesn't require much of you input, just follows the road. Very different bike.

All four bikes, Touring, Custom, Eldorado or Audace, are very similar. It should be the ergonomics of the bike and your personal preference decisive factor which one you choose. I don't think you will go wrong with anyone you choose.

I haven't ridden the MGX-21 or the Audace.  The Eldo handles better.  I think the Audace would work better because of the "drag" bars.
