Love that color scheme. IMHO the Sporties are the best looking of the bunch. I think they take to aesthetic mods the best, and really portray the essence of motorcycles.

I have a Big Kawasaki Voyager 1200 in my garage, and bought this 883 for "bar-hopping" (although I am not a bar guy) and soul-searching. I will say this. Anyone can ride a big twin, but not everyone can ride a Sporty.

My wife traded her 2010 Streetglide this year for a 2012 Custom 1200 Sportster and couldn't be happier with the trade.The Sporty is so much fun to ride I'm getting one as a second bike at the end of the year.

She added a Mustang Seat and Ohlins shocks and says she is more comfortable than she ever was on the Streetglide.

The storage aspect on a Nightster does have it's down side. But I love the quickness, response and always turning heads where ever I ride. Congrats on the new bike.

I love Sportsters more than any other Harley . . .

It's raw and unapologetic. Feels like a pony car on 2 wheels. I love the minimalism, the look, and the simplicity.
