My first HD was a Sporty so I always figured I'd get another one. I can't say I miss the shake and choke of the old one.

moved up to 1200 Custom from a honda rebel and I just LOVE IT.. have about 400mi on the sportster now.. so literally BRAND NEW.. and im 5'7 165lb so it really fits me perfect and everything reviewer said was spot on. Im getting a screen to knock some wind off of me and after a good 1k miles may upgrade seat and pipes etc.. but for now loving it bone stock!

The Sportster is such a friendly and easy going bike that if you have to run up to the 7-11, you'll take it and not your cage. A Harley owner is not always willing to back out the big twin and muscle it around just for an errand or two.
