I love my Heritage but, if I were shopping for a new bike it would probably be a cross bones. I don't ride many long trips so a bagger isn't really necessary. It seems that the cross bones has so many more directions yu can take the bike as far as looks. Blacked out or chrome looks good and there are so many different exhausts that look great. I like the wrapped look on the x bones.

Like most have said, best thing you can do is ride as many different bikes as possible and see what fits you the best. Don't just go by looks!

My first Harley has both looks and rider comfort.
1986 FXSTC. Like riding in a reclining chair for me.
The Rocker needed the rock they called the seat replaced.
Now it fits what I wanted.
If given the chance, ride different models. They can be changed to fit you if you decide you want one that doesn't quite fit you.

I ride solo & plan on just riding around in town. I'm 6'4" & 200lbs so I don't want a bike that I will look like a dumb *** on. HaHa.... I like the style of bikes with drag bars (I think that is what they are called). I want something that is low, blacked out, fast, etc.....
