Nimble and sweet describes the Sportster perfectly. Thats two reasons I ride one and I'm 73 and going strong and fast.

The V Rod sits a lot but I love it for different reasons.

I went from a Dyna to a Road King to a Forty-Eight and I gotta say the Forty-Eight is BY FAR the most fun I've had on a bike. The Road King was without a doubt the most comfortable, but the Forty-Eight is just a blast!

I'd like to get back into a Road King in the next year or two and keep the Forty-Eight. Like someone else said, that would be the best of both worlds.
