Yep Harley’s are great. We own several. The only thing that you will evr have trouble with is if riding in a group with other Harley’s you will need gas more often than some of the other bigger bikes woth larger gas tanks. You’ll also probably take a little ribbing once in a while for getting a real bike. ;)

Yep there's that "girl's bike" thing with the Sporty...but 900cc is no tiddler so it really is a bad rap. I had a 2001 883 and loved it...my only complaint about the pre-rubber mount engines was your hands would get numb at highway rpms. I've had a Softail Standard since '03 and with the counter balanced 88B engine is very smooth. I still have a soft spot for Sporty's though...:o)

That my friend is why God gave us ape hangers. My latest ride is an '03 Sporty with a hopped up motor. Even with the mods the vibration is handled well at the feet with iso pegs, and the bars dampen the vibes to the point that I don't even run iso grips anymore.
