nope, see sig pic. There was a bit of sarcasm in my comment, and the only reason I bring it up is because all of my buds who ride sportys like to bring up speed and offer to race. huffhuff's comment reminded me of it.

No hate here. I love all bikes. Bought the Dyna because it had more room for two-up, and the wife was more comfortable on it. I'd own a Sportster in a second.

Since according to what I read here, everyone looks down on Sportster's, never lets them ride up front, and they are in general a girls bike, I figured I would point out the flaws of all your Harley's.

Baggers - come on, if I wanted a couch I would have stayed home, you can't call anything that you can fit 2 twelve packs into a bike
V-Rod - come on man, it has a radiator...need I say more
Softail - faking the hardtail look without the brass to back it up
Dyna - glorified Sportster with a bigger engine, but slower and less chrome and crappy mid-controls. Sometimes mistaken for the Sportster but never holds up when rubber meets the road.

Did I miss anyone?[sm=smarty.gif]
only wour own. how about this
sportster -looks almost like a real motorcycle, but smaller.

another good thing about a Sportster is you can get a brand new one for only $99/month

I'll admit it, I think Sportsters are chick bikes, or great beginner bikes, or bikes for people under 5'8 or less. When you're 6'5 270, it's clearly not a bike I want to ride....

It's not that we don't let them ride up front. We don't let them ride with us at all.

Sportsters are chick bikes if a chick(Georgia) rides it, but it's a girlie bike if a dude is on one

Maybe the guy driving the garbage truck owns a bagger.
