Hello everyone

Hello, I'm a new guy. I was at dealer yesterday and saw a 2008 model XL1200R Sportster Roadster and would like to know pros and cons for this bike before i go ahead. Any comments would be appreciated,thank you. I am 5'8 and 175 lbs and currently ride a Yamaha V-star 650 and am very happy with it but i think i'm ready to graduate to the next level. Thank you all for your input and am hoping to be a Harley-Davidson owner soon.

RE: Hello everyone

Welcome from Atlanta! I haven't owned or ridden a Sportster so unfortunately I can't help you there. Good luck getting that perfect Harley though!

RE: Hello everyone

I test rode a sporty custom, a super glide and bought a Low Rider. Test ride a couple and see what you like. You and I are exactly the same size (5-8 and 175).
