I sold my 1200 sportie back in November and traded up to a road king. It's a very comfortable bike for long trips. I did about 350 miles one day a few months ago to go to a funeral. Damn I miss my sportie. Fast as a rocket ship and nimble as fighter.......
I wouldn't buy a Yamaha for the same reason I wouldn't buy a Honda car. Americans need to buy as much American made products as possible. I understand that some companies assemble in America, but I would rather buy made in America by an American company.
Sportsters are great. Some day I may add a Road King.
dont see the point in having 2 harleys, why not get a yamaha or something?
I love the Sporty for around town, but I'd like the extra weight/comfort for longer road trips....not sure what that has to do with wanting a Yamaha. I'd like a V-Rod as well for other reasons, and may get that too in a few years. The more the merrier, I'll only own a Harley in one version or the other.
