The first question I would ask you, since you're only THINKING is "why a Harley and Why a sportster?",
I've sold motorcycles in the 90's when u needed to wait 6 months for a new Harley..

Test ride several before you choose. Expensive decision and you don't want to make the wrong one. They all have their strong points and weak points. You don't want to second guess your decision by limiting yourself to just a couple of choices if you are already asking this question.

Welcome to the forum from ND. Try them both, and a few more too. Maybe the Vrod too.
