I started ridng on Yamaha Enduro dirt bikes in 1967, but it didn't take long for me to gather comparative info on other bikes, including Harleys, because most of the guys riding/working on metrics back then were prone to giving Harleys down the road...
A bunch of my friends ride metrics, I've been to those shops with them, and anyone working there is more than happy to give you their opinion of ANY Harley...and the dumbest guy I ever met working in a Harley shop could tell me what a Ninja or a 'Busa can do...
Just sayin'...

I'm sold. Im in negotiations now with my local dealer on an all black nightster. i'm excited...
i'm more than certain that i probably wouldnt ever take the bike into the triple digits but just knowing that its got enough power to get there if i had to is good enough.
thaks again for all the POSITIVE input.

amen!! Im really thinking about calling up Laredo or even Cowboy in Austin to see what they can do. RGV is kinda up there in pricing...but under the new ownership they say they can give be a "better" deal. we shall see. any suggestions on who else to call?

My first HD was a 1200 Custom. It ain't no foreign Sportbike, but it is pretty quick for a Harley. That Sportster would leave my Heritage in the dust easily. I used to get it up to 120mph on the open road once in awhile.
Good luck on your purchase.
