I'm going to have to chime in too - my first bike was an 883 Low - I outgrew it in 6mo. I highly suggest going with a dyna - any model - even the superglide and put forward controls on it. A used dyna doesn't cost that much more but it is worth it. You get the bigger engine that you can live with for a while and the bike is still lightweight. You can add bags and other accessories if you want but you also get the bigger gas tank which is a plus if you ride with groups. As for an easy leaning bike - I felt that the sporty was very top heavy - I never really learned to 'lean' on that bike. I got on my vrod and really learned to lean but I have studied out the distribution of a Dyna and would imagine it is very similiar to my vrod in that the weight is more evenly distributed than the sporty.
