I had a 2001 1200C for about three and a half years -- Loved it! I still miss it sometimes - - but I needed a touring bike for longer rides and 40 mile one way commute to work.....Now I ride a Geezer Glide -- Love it too!..couldn't afford both, so the Sporty went in for the trade ................who cares what people call them -- -
