My second bike is a Night Rod.&nbsp\\; It is a great cruiser bike, and super fast.&nbsp\\; However, I've currently got it up for sale because I want something that really handles in the corners.&nbsp\\; I'll probably wind up with a Buell Lightning.&nbsp\\; It's still in the Harley family and looks like nothing else.

I already have it. A 1200 Sporty. Next choice would probably be a Crossbones. That thing is bada$$!! The only thing it needs is the upswept drag pipes!!

Been looking at a 2nd bike also, looking for different and older. Old Sporty's are probably the 1st choice,&nbsp\\;with a British/ Jap bike in the back of my mind . I always liked the old BSA Gold Stars, but they're pricey as hell if they're in decent condition.
&nbsp\\;
Just can't bring myself to even look at one of those new type scooters, even with the great mileage. Just something wrong there...

Would love to have one of those sleek new Redheads for a 2nd ride.

A Springer Classic or Softail Deluxe or a Dyna lowrider.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; My favorite second bike choices in the order posted.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; And I'm actively looking as well.
I second that.

Collect the pieces and build your own. Isn't the reason for having 2 bikes one to ride while you tear the other one apart?
