I have actually never met a women who rides a sportster, but there must be some?

 

I've seen a couple but most around my area are on softtails.

 

At first I thought this was another I bought my wife - mom - girlfriend - grandma a Sportster and she looks so cute on her little bike bullshit thread from the garbage wagon crowd.

 

Like "The Boss"...I'm not voting until you add transgender to poll selections...

 

I believe most women prefer the low seat access of the soft tails. The Sportster is a taller bike and it's appeal (at least for me) is the more aggressive style of riding and leaner cornering it supports and encourages. Most (but not all) women can't flat foot a Sportster, and are not as interested in its agility and faster acceleration.

 

Mrs B rides ours. Strictly speaking she owns it, but we both ride it. We'll be going to France soon for a few days, she on the Sporty solo, me on the Buell, if you want to pop over for the spectacle! We also have EveHD, one of our HDF mods, or Moderatress and at least a couple of other Sporty ladies. Have you never popped into the Queens section of HDF?!

 

Well, technically my girlfriend will start on my sporty custom. Next year she'll get her driver license and will soon after inherit the sporty, and then ill get myself another bike. I'm still not sure which one yet.

 

I've had 3 sportsters. Currently the 48 is perfect for me with a couple of changes. My friend who rides also bought a 48 last summer. So, there's two gals riding them. I have seen several other females riding sportsters in my area.

 

This has been my experience from working as a sales person in a Harley-Davidson shop...


Dude rides a Harley and his wife starts to show interest in wanting her own bike.


They buy her a Sportster because they are lighter and smaller.


Woman loves the bike and rides the **** out of it. Puts on lots of miles.


The next year other HD riders and men in her life talk her into to trading "up" to a Softtail.


Softtail sits in garage collecting dust because the appeal of riding a 700+ lbs. motorcycle fades.
