Picked up a 2007 Sportster 1200 Low for my wife and son. Quite a different feel from my Dyna Low Rider. Very nimble and light.

 

Another shot.....

 

My first Harley was a 2005 XL1200C which sadly was written off a year ago. I like my 2000 Low Rider a lot, but it is an entirely different beast despite the similar design.

Really miss the Sporty and hope to get another some day.

 

Congrats on the new to you ride! It looks very clean. You will enjoy the lighter sporty that you can throw around in twisties and city alike.

 

I have a 2004 FXDL as well as the 2013 Forty Eight, I love both bikes but the 48 is my bike of choice. The only time I breakout the Dyna is when I need to two-up or just ride her to keep everything working good, otherwise I'm on the 48.

 

Nice addition to the stable. They'll enjoy the nimbleness of the Sporty. I wonder who'll enjoy it more...your wife or son?

De Oppresso Liber. I take it Special Forces?

 

Careful. Riding a Sportster can be addicting...

 

Really fun having a sporty and a big twin, two different rides, wouldn't say one's better than the other, just that each has it's strong points. Fun being able to lean with the sporties. I didn't realize how much more they can lean until the first time I followed my daughter on my 883; poor Glide, trying to keep up, grind, spark, grind, spark, grind, grind... and that was the first time she rode a Harley, too!

That garage has entirely too much room for only two bikes.
Get with the program. Buy another Sportster.
I bet your boy gets the first wheelie (challenge, on).

 

Yep, retired fortunately. Definitely a young mans profession.

Haha, he better not be doing any wheelies.
