RE: Sportster,what a BLAST
espace1fan,
No way is the sporty the hands down power or handling winner....I know that.
What I'm attempting to say is it takes a real bike rider to get all a Sportster has to offer.....No ricemaster can simply jump on one and even come close to doing what he is used to doing on a ricer.....But any good Sportster rider can match his riding up to the limits of the Sporty.
It takes real ***** and true skill to get everything a Sporty has to offer compared to any Jap bike.

"badass cruise"? lol..sorry i'm on pain meds..and it jsut struck me as funny...
I agree with ya Batley...The Sporty is an example of a "pure" motorcycle...
No frills...everything you see has a function..and the bike is OK at everything at a minimum,....not a racer, not a gold-couch, not a dirtbike...but it'll do anything you want as lnog as you have some skill and patience..and a little determination....
Oh yeah..doesnt hurt that the Sporty has some Retro style to it...much like the new bonnevilles and scramblers from triumph.

The handling is just..."interesting" and requires some faith to be close to comfortable..lol

Doh..knew I forgot one...
I'm 22 though..so I'm not exactly old enoguh to remmeber...
I'm jsut starting my research into all of the bikes of that era..specifically..the more performance oriented ones from that era...
So far I've learned..
They all leaked....and required onboard toolkits for a reason...haha
Character is what makes or breaks the everyday pleasure of a bike though!
