Fake Harley? That's a silly thing to say. I could understand if you were riding one of the many Japanese models that mimic the Harley stying. If they're trying to say it's "fake" because it's a Sportster, ask 'em to define "fake" and lend them your dictionary.

Foe every person that calls my Nightster a 'dirt bike' or 'scooter', I get 10 people giving me thumbs up or just a nod and stare that you can tell says 'Thats f***ing awesome'.

I am 24 and the younger riders who would normally like sport bikes (like my friends) love the sportster models. I think seeing my bike convinced two of my buddies to get one too. I think the future of their brand will be in the Sportster line.

It's funny how these idiots making lame comments don't seem to be on that forum.

Please don't be concerned about what people say to you about your bike and be even less concerned when they're not on bikes!

Et al,

Your sporster is great, I saw the pic.

The Kawasaki motor company has a sportster rip-off, exact copy point for point, I've seen it in Tel Aviv they really have stolen the harley look, the sound is different but the look is exactly the same. I may buy replacement parts from them instead of the stealership in Israel.

It is something how the last venue of Ameracana is under attack by the very people who have been given the economic opportunity to come up to the level of the USA? This is why globalism will not succeed yet you may not survive.

Have you ever wondered why the Intruder is called that?

The only people I have ever had talk **** about my Iron are A. people who don't own a bike. B. The guy who had a brand new softtail at the drivers license place that didn't even pass his test. What he didn't like was not enough chrome not even that it was a sportster. C. My wife's uncle who has a Harley that has sit in his garage for the last 30 years not running.

+1. I bought the Sporty in lieu of the ubiquitous metric cruisers that to me are a contrived version of the Harleys -- the real fakes, so to speak.
