If it were me, I'd buy the Honda. I'd rather been seen riding a Honda than a sporster.
Sadly - this. No matter what Harley tries to do with the Sportster, it's still an "entry level" bike because that's the way they marketed it for so many years.
If you want an entry level Honda, you get a Grom or a Rebel.
The Honda is retro cool. Like current pony cars, Mustang/Camaro/Challenger. Hint of old school style with modern brakes, power, electronics and handling. Nice bike.

I have had 3 new 1200 sportsters 2012 and up i disagree with you... The new rodester Is one hell of a bike... and is competing strongly with my bike
Nice purchase. That would have been my choice over a Sportster
Did it have miles on it before you bought it. Header pipes look like its been ridden. Demo maybe?
