Default 883 tops list of 10 best for women and short people.

I stopped and looked at one when picking up parts at the dealer yesterday. Wasn't sure if you're supposed to ride it or pick it up and carry it?

Is this, seriously, another thread about what other people should or should not ride? Ride your own, let them ride the one they choose and celebrate the fact the enjoyment is equal. Move on...

All I see is an opinion in the link. From what I have seen it is a regional thing. When I was in the PacNW it was the Dyna I seen most women on. In NC it was softails for the ladies and in MI, it is the sportster with either engine. Women the same height as men for the most part will have longer legs anyway so a shorter seat height is meaningless to rate who will ride a bike. I know women a couple inches shorter than me with longer or same height legs and prefer something with more leg room but easier to reach controls and bars. Of the women I do see on a sportster it is one of the Customs with the forwards because of the longer legs. Never seen a woman on a low.

Welp.. that settles that... I have a girl's bike.

But the article specified the "Low"... so, I have a tall woman's bike... since mine is a standard XL CN.

Ah, another thread where OP has self-esteem issues and tries to take it out on others.

LOL

I guess here is where I'm supposed to say, doesn't matter, either way all you'll see are the tail lights.
Or, Hey, stopped by the dealer and saw a road glide yesterday. Wasn't sure if you're supposed to ride it, or set it in front of the TV and fall asleep in it.

Hehe whatever. I like all bikes. Could care less what someone else rides, or thinks of my ride. But I'm secure in my manhood like that.

I swear, 50% of this forum is defending the sporty against its reputation of being "entry level" or a "girls bike" and the other 50% is a circle jerk of everyone talking about how sporty's are the best bike ever.
