my beloved sportster. im not a girl or a beginner. I like the lightness and compact looks. I wouldnt necessarily want to ride it 500 miles (at my age) for the same reason, its light and not as comfortrable on a long road trip. kinda like a fighter plane vs a bomber. two different equipment for two different jobs.
that said, it IS the lightest v twin harley, so yeah it would be a logical choice for a woman or a beginner who wants to get a Harley. better choice than an 800lb bagger. but FAR MORE "real men" have run sportsters than beginners or women.

my first real bike in the 70s was a Honda 750f supersport. One of the hottest bikes at the time. It weighed about 50lbs less than my sporty. and, I never called the guys with lesser bikes like 500's "girls". know why? because I didnt want to look like a rude ignoramus.
truth hurts sometimes.

What I have noticed is that Girls are a lot more likely to be riding Softails than Sportsters. So I guess those should be considered "Girls" bikes.
