Been Called "Flash" Since I Was A Kid!
I recommended the Sportster because it's a great ride for the money and an exceptional value. I ride for fun only and my long trip touring days are over. The Sportster is the perfect ride for me!
You guys counter that selection with choices that cost 150-200% more money! Of course those are better bikes but they aren't in the same league. The bikes weigh 250 pounds more that the XL and if you're just using the bike for local trips and cruising around town, they are terrible choices. I am through riding 800 pound highway barges and the 550 pounds of the XL is perfect to give a good ride and still be easy to scoot around.
SO.....select the kind of riding that you want to do long before you select a H-D model to own. Big bikes ride like a dream on the highway but become monsters at slow speed and you could end up owning a bike that isn't fun to ride.
