Hey Everyone,
After going crazy tring to decide what bike I should buy as a new rider I finally decided on the sportster custom in black and pearl gold.
I'm taking a course next week for 2 days and then I will have my license. I'm supposed to pick up the bike on the 9th of April. What do you think of the bike? I live on Long Island and the traffic is sometimes pretty bad, but there are areas that are nice to ride. I can't wait.
Mike the custom Sporty is an awsome bike.Harley put some good power into it and it looks awsome.The man that is in charge of the rentals at my local shop said that they will run with the big twin now and with the bigger fuel tank Harley got it right IMHO.
Sporster is really good in traffic, and pleasant to ride. We have plenty of sporsters here in France, because of little roads. I like them, have fun with yours.
