You’re basically going from a sportbike to what is essentially a cruiser. The sportster may be Harley’s definition of a standard but it is a far cry handling-wise from anything Ducati builds, or any non-cruiser metric bike. Just take it slow, the Harley is a heavy, slow-handling beast compared to your Ducati and isn’t capable of doing things the way you’re probably used to. It’ll take some getting used to taking it through corners (not that there are any in Florida).
