Default Next Harley?

The FXD went to it's new home tonight, enjoyed it for over a year and 10,000 miles.

In the spring i will be testing riding a Sportster Roadster, those look pretty fun to ride.

Restoring a older softail would be fun. But i am shying away from big heavy bikes now days.

What should my next Harley be?

Thanks

1200 Roadster for a little bit more sporting and aggressive riding. 1200 C for more laid back cruising.

What ever kind of Sportster you get, you can't go wrong. It will keep you happy and make you smile.
