I wouldn't call any Harley and entry level bike, to expensive and too much money and love goes into them for them to be considered an entry level bike.

I will say this however I fully believe there are folks on this site that could use and entry level forums.

 

Please... pretty please...

Moderators, please lock these threads. I know that it might become the Wack-a-Mole of topics... but enough is enough.

kind regards,

the buell blast.

that's why they're used in the rider training programs.

 

Can't answer that question for everyone .... my 1st Harley (and current Harley) is a Fatboy. This is MY idea of an 'entry level' Harley. Some may agree ... some may not.

After this I am done....Serious denial going on in here....

The [/b]Washington[/b] Times[/b] - Sportster 883 XLH provides an eye-catching, entry-level Harley

The New York Times[/b] - The 2007 Nightster, a back-to-basics road bike, is pitched as something of a rowdy sibling to the Sportster, the entry-level Harley

The Auto Channal[/b] - Basically it looks great, further complementing the Sportster's attractive look as an entry level Harley

Motorcycle Cruiser[/b] - Read this Budget V-Twin motorcycles comparison for the Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster Custom, ... rare in the economy-minded world of entry-level cruisers

Motorcycle Daily- Harley-Davidson's Sportster has long been one of their best-selling models, and for 2007 H-D decided to spice-up their entry-level model line with the ...

 

If you think a Sportster is entry level, then you don't know your history of the Sportster.

 

The only thing serious going on in here... is you seriously beinga$h1t-stirring f**kbag.

ahhh.

well, the press is always SPOT-ON about everything.

i'm not sensitive about my sportster...far from it.

i just generally like to correct people when they don't know what they are talking about.


a camaro is cheaper than a suburban, so i guess it's an entry level chevy.

right.

 

Hmmm...presently I own two Sportsters. There are lots of usedSoftails out there for less than a brand new Sportster withthe same accessories (windshield, saddlebags, touring seat,sissybar) so that don't make sense.

Had a Heritage SoftailClassic once;Inow own a Sportster. And if I ever get another HS Classic, I will be KEEPING the Sportster!

Overall, I prefer the Sportster. I prefer fast, light,nimble, simple andinexpensive to not so fast, heavy,bulky,hi-maintenance andexpensive.

Sporties are lots more fun on the twisties. Easier to evade the sleeping cager, too. And the general scuttlebutt is they're quite a bit more reliable.

To me, thebigger bikes aredefinitely better for riding long trips with a passenger.

 

Yep, the entry level Harley is a Blast. It is a not only a good bike, but a fantastic bargain on the used market. The Sportster is a standard. Standard means just what it says--it's the standard by which all bikes are judged.It hurts a lot of egos when experts rate the Sportster above Harley models that cost double or triple as much.It warms my heart when someonepokes fun at a Sporty. Ienjoy that look in theireyes.
