Seeing that I had a Iron 883.I would say your claim of spectacular acceleration,is a slight exaggeration.Unless you have the 1200 kit or something.Klf ,sporty is a great bike but don't get rid of your softail for one.I agree you will regret it within less than a month.

My first HD was a Sportster years ago. Coming home from a day at work and just taking a nice ride in the evening, it was probably my favorite of all. Probably wouldn't want one for my only bike now though.

I was at the MoCo dealership picking up clear turn signal lenses.
And I sat on the Nightster with apes, this skinny small tank gave me a serious chubby
.
I am seriously thinking of selling my Standard and getting this bike, it is lighter, faster and for sure less on insurance.. but .. I just spent too much time and money on my current bike, it hurts

You'll regret trading bikes.......why not pick up a used Sporty and customize it slowly as your heart desires?????? Your second bike will not be much more on your insurance payment if your company is like mine.

I understand your insurance dilemma, my cousin lives in Ottawa and tells me anything over a certain ci/cc is ridiculous on ins. I agree with some of the other guys that going down to something that small may cramp your riding. +1 on renting one for the day, even though most HD dealers in Canada make you pay so much per KM over a set amount. Just something to ponder.

I traded up from a dynasore t a Sporty, and I got no regrets.
Them apes gonna take away form the handling, leave them on the rolling sofas.
