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.

 

Very good looking bike and it comes with an oil cooler.

 

Frame looks like a FXR, too...;-)

 

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

 

Why did you have to buy three bikes of the same model in five years. If I could have ONE Sportster, it would the '78 XLCH that I sold many years ago.

 

A 48 a custom and a 1200T not the same model

 

I think that's a good looking bike and will take good care of you - being a Honda and all.

Gratz!

 

As much as I like HD, that Honda is a sweet fast ride.. I want one.

 

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?
