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

If you want a HOT ROD Harley, ride a sportster.
And I dont have one now.
Ride FL's, ridden many Sportsters, they are great bikes.

1. It fits in my restricted storage space and on my 4 Wheeler trailer.
2. I can afford it.
3. It keeps up with the HOGS.
4. It's a Harley, no doubt about it.
5. I can pick it up by myself when it falls over - yes it has happened.

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.
