2002 1200 custom?
Currently riding a Honda Shadow ACE 750. Going to look at a 2002 1200XL tomorrow. I have the ACE running great but would like the added umph for highway (not freeway) riding. I also like the HD brand and have always been interested in owning am HD. Anybody have any reviews or words of wisdom for me? Thanks.

After not riding a bike for 30 years I picked up a used Honda 750 Spirit last Fall just a little west of Wheeling. Then after riding a few hundred miles decided to sell it to a coworker and buy a 2014 Sportster 1200C. The Sportster seems to be the bike all other types like Honda try to imitate and look like... I'll have to say the Honda was probably a smoother ride but not near as much fun as I've had on the Sportster so far. Love the sound, feel and it's a real head turner when riding the Harley. Good luck !

Different bikes- you will note more power, but imo the biggest difference is in the weight. The added weight gives more stability on the big road, which makes longer trips a bit more comfortable... my personal preference would be for a newer model (better ride, and not having to tune it all the time make that for me)-
