I like them both, especially the new softail. Just begs for a chopped rear fender, airride, and a 23 up front! Sporty doesnt look too different, custom paint and white walls, killer either way

Softail Slim: Looks like a Fatboy Lo mated with the new Blackline & had a love-child.
I'd rather see them bring back the Nighttrain, but that looks a lot better than the Blackline.

Sporty 72: 1200 Custom with a chopped fender & the "mini-apes" bars. I like it.
