RE: Girls bike...Yeah Because They Keep Getting on The Back ...Mr Big V-Twin Man..
Lemme see now, if the 61 cubic inch ironhead I rode for some 20 years is a girls bike, I suppose that makes the EL Knuckle and Pan girls bikes too. There is a 74 inch (1200CC for those not accustomed to real numbers) Sportster in my garage, so I guess the 74 inch Panheads and Shovelheads are also girls bikes.
Now, along with the Sportster, there are an 88' big twin, a 96' big twin and a Triumph Bonneville. While the 96 is fastest on a straight road, the Sporty is the only one that can keep up with the Triumph on a crooked one. So, does that mean only bikes that corner like a '50 Buick are for manly mans?

I told this lady at the Discount Tire shop yesterday that I would have liked to have taken my motorcycle in this morning, but that I needed to get a tire fixed so that my wife & kids would have something safe to drive.
She asked, "oh, what type of motorcycle do you have?"
I replied, "Sportster".She said, "Oh, I use to ride a Sportster 883 but I had to get a bigger bike because it wasn't powerful enough for me (this was a big lady - not fat, but just big!).I told her, "Oh, that's just what I have - a Sportster 883".
My point being, I don't bat an eye when telling people what I ride, sportster or not.I really don't give a rats *** what other people think. Day after day, my trusty powerful 883 pulls me up the Austin hills, even with strong winds blowing against me.
It's a great bike people.Don't let the stuck-up riders comments get to you. I surely don't! You have to start somewhere. Better that than no bike at all!

I don't understand how it's a girl's or a boy's bike. It's a bike. So if I see a woman on a softtail does that mean that now all softtails are girl's bikes? I'm still doing my research, but I want a sportster, 1200N to be exact, b/c I'm used to riding sport bikes and I don't want to drive a tank. My buddy just took his license test on his Fatboy. He refused to do one of the tasks b/c his bike was too big and heavy and he didn't want to drop it. That's just ridiculous. I want a bike to be nimble. If I want a car I'll jump into my cage.
