This is dumb... the streetglide is a move up in every way! The sportster is the bottomof the Harley line... like it or not. Sure it is fast, but Harley is not about fast.

Yeah, the finance guy tried the same thing with me - I want to pay it off in three years, and he kept asking - are you SURE you don't want a longer term? Which of course would have meant more money for him. It's their game. I had fun saying No.

ORIGINAL: mejonesrebel

when I pay this little baby off,



I will be getting a



I will be keeping the sporty, because she gives me a big grin everytime a open that throttle up and she goes like a house on fire, but you can't beat the cool you get from one of the bigger bikes like the softails and the road kings, albeit not as fun to ride as the sporty. Like anubiss said, what does it matter what joe schmo thinks?

When they ask me if I am looking at a new bike (more expensive) I tell them no, I am looking for a better job, so I can afford one.
those springers are sweet they are my favorite soft tail . and dont let anybody tell you those big touring bikes are pigs I couldnt believe how well an ultra classic handled .its all in our perspective to me I can have fun on about anything with two wheels and a motor.

Move up in cost, move down in speed, move up in size, move down in handling

I could have got any bike but I got a sportster because I wanted a sportster, I love my bike because of the way I feel on her.

I may move up in cost, move down in speed, move up in size, move down in handling, however it will be because I want something differant. Not because I am upgrading anything.

Just my two cents

Finance guys don't get paid by the term of the loan.In fact,the longer the loan,the bigger the chance of someone screwing up and not paying,which means they will be charged back. Nice guess,though.The way finance makes $ is by adding points to your loan.Mainly with financially challenged people.
