Default FLSTN

I think I may have rekindled an old friends interest in riding. He wants a new H-D which is a good thing! The bad news is that the dealer an his buddies are telling him that the bike he wants is a "girl's bike". So I am turning to you, the online Harley world, to help me out. I know if I get enough responses he may listen. So here goes...

Is the FLSTN a girl's bike or not?
Note: pictures (or links to pictures) of large guys who might disagree would be helpful! Then again, a vist by such a person may help more!!!

Thanks in advance.

Joe

OK, first the sporty and now the Luxe? What, if you don't have a V-Rod or a full dresser, its a girls bike? Tell him to get what he wants and the dealer/salesperson to man up.

T Rat,

Good start! Thanks.

I just sent him an email saying almost the same thing. I told him to be man enough to ride what he wants......

and kick the **** out of anyone with unwanted comments!

BTW, nice ride.

This is not a girls bike, but they sure do love it.

A lot of women ride Deluxe's because they have a lower seat heighth and the riding position isn't as stretched as a Heritage.

I never thought of my FLSTN as a girls bike... hmm, come to think of it, every compliment I've gotten has come from guys. So I guess there's a lot of grey-bearded, patch-wearing, loud-piped hog-owning "girly" men out there.

What should I get then, I mean to be a "real man"... should I go Crotch Rocket?
