Someone convince me to get a sportster
Hey guys,
I'm new to the sportster part of the forum. I've had my eye on a new 1200 Custom for a while. But today I rode a new Switchback and it was AWESOME! But here in Australia the Switchback is $7,000 more than the Sporty. I like both but the Switchback has 103 motor, floorboards and hard panniers. I need convincing that the Sporty is the right choice
Thanks guys

I have both a 1200 sporty and a Dyna (street bob once upon a time). I love both bikes but they really are totally different in many ways. Ride the sporty and see which one you prefer. Leave the $$ out of it - yes, 7k is huge but if you plan to keep it for a good while it doesn't matter.
Look at it this way - if the Dyna is what you really want, you could save 7k buying the sporty and end up putting 10k into trying (and failing) to make it a switchback.

I've riden the sporty and the switchback and had decided on the sporty, but the switchback did feel pretty damn good. I was just hoping there would be a Yoda on here that could talk me out of the dyna lol. The sporty is great, but I dont know if the switchback has $7,000 worth of extra comfort.
Thanks for all the feedback (positive & negative)
