It's a Sportster for me!
I sometimes read posts about riders who 'move up' to a BT.
I went on the local HD ride and tried-out 3 different bikes.
I came away happier than ever with my Sportster....fits me and my riding style to a "T".
Got the bike the way I want it...seat...pipes...bags..wind shield..gps. Who could ask for anything more?
65 000 km and in no hurry to changd....love my Harley Davidson Sportster

Same with me. I used to ride my brother-in-law's Heritage around now and then, so when it came time for me to buy I rode a super glide custom and a heritage and a nightster. I think that for a long trip the heritage would be a bit more comfortable, but 90% of my driving is around town and commuting to work and back (20 miles each way). The nightster was a lot more fun to ride around, so that's what I got.

Ride whatever floats your boat, and don't worry about what others prefer....
I currently own 6 different Harley's (ranging from hardtail Panhead Chopper to Road King) and enjoy them all...
Every model has it's strong points, and it's weak points as well...
I like variety though, and like having the option of riding a different model depending on conditions and what I plan on doing..

my set-up
I contacted the Garmin Company and asked if I could use it on my bike using the Ram mount. They answered; "Over a period of time, you may notice some problems develop because it is not made for a motorcycle."
Recently, a rider posted; "I've been using one on my bike for 3 years and not a problem."
So far...it works like a charm on my Sportster and in the car. ( Three times, it's fallen off the dash in my car...hit the gear shift and landed on the passenger-side floor.)
Looks like it 'can take a licken' an' keep on tickin'."
I use a Ram mount with the 'lighter', directly behind it and tethered to the winshield mount.
The wire had to be extended 'spliced' to add length. The wire is now long enough to run under the tank and seat...and connect to the battery tender sae wire. ( even that is hidden under the battery cover.)
It's a 'clean' set-up. I'd send a photo but my camera just had a metal-breakdown.
