Thanx SPRINGER, My long rides are mostly few and far apart. I would ride my sporty to and from work. (45min each way) Longer rides were more comfortable than i hear others talk about. I also had a removable windscreen. As far as the handling it was great but to up riding was not so comfortable.

I have had a Sporty,Dyna Super Glide,Fatboy, and now a Heritage,I liked all of them but as the years have crept up on me I favor the heritage,It's nimble,quick and very comfortable on long or short rides
ORIGINAL: Ragin_Republican

Im a Sporty owner but I really like the looks of the Fatboy. Its my perfect dream bike. Probably gonna be a couple of years befor I can get one though. I was wondering if anyone else who owns a fatboy had a sportster befor they upgraded to the fatty and how they liked it. What was the major differences in the ride and power, comfortability of long rides and etc from the Sport. Just curious.
