Sporster not maligned worldwide it seems
Just joined a group on Facebook called Harley Davidson Sporster Iron group 883 , it is a closed group . I have been talking to owners all over the world , Germany , France , Australia, Japan . It appears the Sporster is well regarded all over the globe with the exception of the USA Geezer Glide, Billet Barge Harley riders here at home . Even noticed that in most of the pics most riders are wearing full safety gear , unlike your typical American pirate garb .

I've always loved the Sportster, it was my first Harley. Then I started to travel long distances and a Sportster just wasn't in the cards. If I could afford it, I'd have another one as a local run around bike. I don't put down any Harley or any motorcycle for that matter. I've had probably 15 or 20 motorcycles in my 74 years. Foreign and domestic - liked them all.
I hate the new tank. To me it isn't a Sportster unless it has a peanut tank. That's the true look of a Sportster.

I have watched some of the Sporster sickness UK videos on YouTube . Wish there was a group like that here in PA , All we have are the 950 lb baggers , I Have never seen another 883 Iron on the road where I live . Maybe there are so many Sporsters purchased in Europe because the Harley's are so costly over there people just buy the base model ? Or maybe it is just a totally different mindset when it comes to cycling .
