Default Regret selling Sportster.....?

Thinking about selling my Nightster. Really wanting something physically larger so my lady can ride with me. Bad thing is I love my bike!

Anyone sell their Sportster and regret that decision later?

Thinking about a Night Train/Softail Custom or maybe even a Street Glide. I'm really not sure.

Now we are back with one.. a 48...but man do I miss that Nighster... loved the color combination... it was the dumbest move ever... till this day I still look to see if I can find one in that color combination... or the tins used... I loved the looks of that HD Orange with Black...

That is why we did it... wife wanted to get a Softail Deluxe... only way was to trade it in...

If you are doing it to be able to ride two-up better... sell it and don't look back...

But you will regret it... that was your question... and yes... we do

Im in the same boat, kinda...Im trying to sell my 48 to get onto a softail. I don't think i will be disappointed and the reason being if i ever wanted another sporty they are a dime a dozen and a good deal will always be there. At least thats what i want to believe lol

There was a thread not too long ago. Many said they regretted it......many regretted it so bought another........some regretted it, bought another then ended up selling their couch cause it just sat there all the time. There were one or two like the post above mine

I have gone back and forth on this myself. Now that I have finally gotten mine to ride perfectly (mustang seat, rear shocks & upgraded forks) Its comfortable, fast and fun to ride.

I've decided I'm just going to bust my *** and save the extra money and buy the Dyna and still keep my 1200 Low. The sportster serves a purpose which is hard to replicate on a bigger-bagger. They each have their purpose.

Keep it and add to the stable! I'm looking to pull the trigger on a sporty to add to the garage. Just not sure whether to roll with a 72 or a 48. Big bikes are a blast but getting on a small one is a blast! My gf's Nightster feels like a hot rod compared to my RKC. I dig it but I'm not getting rid of the King. I have it right where I want it.
