Welcome from Vancouver, WA. 1200 Sportys are great bikes. Good luck on making a decision. Harleys are the only way to go.

Definitely a tough decision! I'd go for a sporty if you like your dad's that much! I loved my 1200. Welcome to the site!

Hey, Bryankia, welcome to the forum from Okmulgee. I hadn't ridden in 25 years and bought a Heritage Softail and rode off. Harleys are pretty heavy, so I don't think any of them can be manhandled like a small bike. If you can flatfoot a bike, you can ride it. My suggestion? A good used HD for a while, then whatever you want. The Harley-Davidson experience is an American dream and legend. I think it screams "I'm an American!"

Welcome to the forums, by the way you have what is called Hog Fever, only cure is to get that Harley. I started out with a 1200 sporty and loved it.

Thank you all for your kind welcomes.

Well here is where I am at now. I have called to get on a list for a driving course. How sad is it that only one place provides the driving course...

Bryan

PS Due in no small part of the kindness of you strangers I am going with a Harley for my first bike. Why spend a few thousand dollars on your first bike when you can spend a dozen
