My Low Rider is a great bike, but I will be buried with my Sportster!!


Sportster, making good girls bad since 1957, or in my case replace girls with backs

Big Block Sportster that's what I tell 'em. (Yes I know this thread is old) you figure the front end and rear fender on the Super Glide is Sportster, if I was teaching a HD identification class, I would start with Engine visual Identification and go from there LOL!.

Just today at barbershop, old guy asked if my 2012 Street Bob was "one of those 1200's"

Thread from 06 - WOW
I'd tell them yep it's one of the years they swapped the brakes and drive on the rear wheel.

Damn! Your bike is such a great example of why Street Bob's are as popular as they are. Just a gorgeous, straight forward motorcycle. I love that.

Most people know very little about bikes. To many, anything with a V-Twin and a cruiser configuration translates to, "Harley". Back when I was riding a VTX, I got many complements on my, "Harley".

Just nice folks making conversation.

In my experience, people who know very little about motorcycles seem to "know" that a big bike is a "1200." I've gotten that question from non riding friends a lot: "Is that a 1200?"
