Default New and have Question.
Hello,
I am new to the forum and have a question about a HD that I plan to buy. It's a Sportser Nightster 1200cc. I wish to know any thing and everything about it. I told aa aquantenceabout buyingthe bikeand was told not to buy a Harley at all. That they were nothing but a money pit and I would have nothing but troubles with the bike. I currently own a 93 Ninja that I am getting ready to sell so I can get my Nightster. That's the deal I mde with my Partner. Sell the Ninja, buy the Harley. Can any one please help me?

Welcome to HDF. It sounds to me like the person who gave you that advice has never owned or ridden a Harley. You can rent a harley to see if you like the one you want to buy.

Thanks Softy. I just might do that. The person I mentioned did own a HD at one time.

Get rid of that ninja and step up to a HARLEY! And welcome to HDF, the Nightster is really nice looking Sportser. I just bought a Night Train here in Iraq. Can't wait to go home and ride it!! [sm=biker2.gif]
