92 is the magic year for Sportsters. 6 years into the UC-Evo engine, the engine was finally mated to a 5 speed transmissiont that truly gave the Sporty long legs.
The Yamaha/Honda dealer where I bought my Shadow had a couple of Sportsters sitting on his sales floor. He said that one of the guys had traded his Sportie on a Yamaha 650 v twin and said that if the Harley dealer had let him test drive it, he never would have bought it. It makes me wonder how eager I should be to step up to a Twin Cam.
