In the '60s the Sportster ate everything for breakfast on the race tracks. I think that is what he is referring to. But not being a Harley historian, I could be mistaken.

 

At a recent ralley I saw a Sportster Dragster. All business with nitrous injection and no compromise anywhere. Just beggin to dine on Bonneville pink slips, it was. I've owned a Bonneville that maxed out far above the 135 I dared to take it. Still, my money would be on that dragster.

 

Nope, Sporsters aren't girl bikes, My Dyna is a girl bike. Her name is Maria, fun to ride, never complains, always ready to go ALL DAY LONG

 

Yeah, not doubt. I know a ladyin New Hampshire that can ride her *** off. Riding a motorcycle is all technique. All it takes is skill. The only place I could see people physically challenged is picking the bike up. But even then, there are proven techniques people of small stature can follow.

 

Besides I like girls...on Sportsters or whatever.

 

This is funny. I was in a dealer this afternoon and some guy was looking at bikes with his wife. They got to the row of Sportsers and his wife commented on how nice they were; then I overheard him say 'Sportsters; those are girls' bikes'. Would have said something, but figured I was just more secure in my manhood than he could ever hope to be!
Whatta D**K!

 

sissy basta*ds

 

I think this simple answer should be set as an auto responder for this question. When I bought my 883, one of the first things my brother-in-law told me was, "you know what they call these bikes, right?". I knew what he was going to say, but I let him say it anyway. He then said with a short lasting grin, "they're called a 'b*tches bike'.

To which I replied that it would be the PERFECT bike for him.

Seriously - I like Hornet's reply. He's right on the money with that answer.

 

I know plenty of women that ride Dyna's, Fatboys, RK's and Heritage. Does that make these girls bikes? Seen a few dykes on E-glides, does that make an E-glide a dyke bike?

 

I think it is all in your own perception,buckeye (by the way...go Buckeyes!!!). I rode Sportsters for many years, from an 83 ironhead (purchased early 90's) to a 2002 Custom. Due to the OL's bad back and the fact that she really loves to ride with me, I sold the sporty and bought a bagger. I never heard anyone , with the exception of a few jap riders on the internet, call the sporty a "girls' bike. Besides, if someone doesn't like what I ride, then screw'em. I am sure there are a few big twin riders out there that don't like the Sportster, but they probably live in a very lonely world with their other "big bad biker" freinds. I would someday like to own another sporty in addition to my e-glide. Those bikes (sportsters) are just a plain out blast to ride and easy to customize and boost performance. Try not to ever have the feeling that anyone is looking down on you for riding a sportster. GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!
