That's why it's a GIRLS bike. Or a San Francisco edition.

I just find knuckledragging comments about Sporty's being a girls bike to be funny. Coming from c-rockets, I actually find all the anti-metric, anti-Harley and other "anti" related comments to be pretty pathetic in a humorous way. Given the history and performance of the model, it is actually quite laughable to call it a girls bike. Especially when you consider most of the girls I see are on soft tails and the like, and not on a bike that sits higher, has a higher center of gravity, would be harder to ride and offers more power and handling. The XR1200 is hardly a girls bike. Outside the V-rod line, it is on track to be the meanest factory stock model to be offerred. And imagien that thing after a "stage 1 or Stage 2 etc.

Coming from Nekkid Rice bike I can say they are VERY popular overseas and are growing in popularity state side. I like the bike, it will bring more riders into our community and ensure the long term viability of HD.

I don't get into the 'girls vehicle' thing anyway. Before it died, everyone called the Pontiac TransAm the girls Camaro. Only problem was the TA looked better than the jogging shoe Camaro. I would not have hesitated to get one - almost picked up a never driven Formula one time for about half of list (dealer's kid dropped it off the truck and broke the rear suspension).
AFA the foreign bikes, if others want to get them that's fine by me. But I love to collect American iron.

I'd buy one to go with my Roadglide. I like it. Always like the 750's. Basic. Reminds me of Evil Kneivel. No one ever called him a girl.

I was actually planning on getting a Sporty this last time. The est mpg was great and was lighter than any of my other rides. But then I saw the StreetBob, and that changed.

I had a 94 Formula 350 with the Vette package (drivetrain, engine, 6-speed tranny). I had that thing so tricked out it used to embarass Mustangs and Vettes left and right. Great car to burn some rubber in. But my speed days are over. I used up too many of my nine lives and the patience of the judicial and insurance systems.
