1) High"thrill-per-dollar" ratio
2) Sized just right for a wimp like me; not too big, not too small
3) It kicks A$$ just sitting there, more when it's on the road
CONCLUSION: It is the coolest bike that Harley makes. Just my opinion, though.[sm=biker.gif]

You all pretty much put things the way I think. I wanted a bike. Not a house boat on 2 wheels. Nothing wrong with the big bikes, just not me. I just can't see riding around with a 52 inch tv and a hot tub connected to my bike. Just want the bare bones in my face type stuff. If I wanted all the saddle bags, windshield and the like, I'll drive my car.

I'm a little different than the other above, but I agree with them. My friend owned the Sportster that I now own. He wouldn't let anybody ride it except me, and I had to wash it before I brought it back. 
It was the first Harley I ever rode. I fell in love right away. I had been riding a Honda CB750 before that. The difference was like night and day. I told him if he ever sold it I wanted it. In 1999 he let me know he was ready to sell. I bought. I still love it. End of story. I don't think I'll ever sell it. I hate washing it.

It's the perfect combination of performance, looks, price, quality, and versatility. It really can't be beat. Nothing else does everything as well.

Now, I have bags, a shield, a detachable rack and a nice luggage bag. Two-up week long trips, even camping, are a joy. I've put 64k on in 6 years. I don't miss those days of getting caught in the rain, not having a place to carry junk, and having a stiff neck at the end of the day from the wind blowing my head around.
