I got a Heritage and my ex girlfriend had a 883 sportster. Her bike was a BLASTand out run the dog chit out of mine. When she would let me drive it and I took it down a twisty road OH WOW was that great. Some may blaze me over this but honestly far as the ride goes I think the sportster if set up properly (meaning not slammed low) is as comfortable a ride as the Heritage. My ex always hammered me on trips of 200 miles or a little less my bike road better and her was harder to ride. Well I took hers for a littletrip down some bump NC highways and I couldnt tell a difference after an hourof riding. Buttfelt the same if not a little better than on my Heritage. AHeritageyou can tour on but it does ride stiff if set up for 2 up.

The guy was ignorance and most likely never road a Sporty. His loss.

My reply has to the girly bike comments have always been to look down my shirt and say "holy chit!!! I AM a girl!!"

 

No I got the point I just thought it was bullchit.

 

Had the VTX1800....was very nice.....but it didn't give me the thrill my 1200C does.... the guy who purchased my VTX is happy and I'm happy...what's wrong with that?

Why do people feel compelled to open their mouth just to get a "rise" out of someone??????
I don't get it!

Peace

 

I have been finding that same thing out myself. A lot of metrics love my bike. I get more compliments from them than from a fellow Harley rider.

 

yeah yeah, my bike weighs 491 and its not about to lose to no stinkin heritage...
not on a bad hair day.

whats withthose 6 second Ets at 224 mph? Is that random or what?

Back to the point, I have 2 close friends with heritages, one is an 06 and one is an 01. the 01 has stage one and randy is a bike mech
it still wont touch mine, not even close. the 06 is even slower. Better ride one or two so you know what they are capable of...

 

I've got several bikes, the smallest is a 1968 175cc BSA Bantam. The fastest is my Yamaha XJR1300. I love riding anything and everything. I'm not the best rider in the world, or the most experienced but I love to get the most I can out of a bike and riding it to the best of my ability.

I have no time for idiots who rubbish other peoples bikes, whatever they are. Most do it because they think it makes them look good but they end up looking like a$$holes. Some guys do it to compensate for having a small dick. Ignore them or pity them but never get upset about it.

I enjoy riding my Bantam at 30 mph as much as I enjoy riding my XJR at 130 mph. They are both fun in different ways. They both provide a different experience but the wind is the same.

 

Would you really want to be friends with a person rude enough to dis another blokes stuff?
