It is noted that you are looking at other peoples peeckers.

I like the Fatboy due to the fat tires (like my XL1200 has) and the new ones have a WIDE back tire. Not sure what year they made that change. I like the lines and the look of the Fatboy. I like the beefy front forks. Plus, I would be more comfy riding 2-up on a Fatboy but not my Sportster. My XL1200 is for solo riding fun. The Fatboy has a vastly better rear suspension.

I have mine almost paid for now so, why not start collecting Harleys? I collect guitars now.

But, not the new bikes......I can save money by getting used. I am a bit limited in funds......the only thing that saves my butt is the fact that I do not have a rent or mortgage payment (house is paid for!)
I spotted a guy whipping around on one in a parking lot and turning on a dime. Up til then I'd only seen them on hd.com. I couldn't figure out what the heck it was until I looked it up later. Cool little bike but the reviews don't seem to be that great.

But you're right, if you're happy with what you have and out of debt then life is good. Shame you can't teach common sense to these youngsters that "know it all". Don't get me started LOL!

I started playing guitar at 10 and in my first band at 13. You?

Then again, my XL is purdy to me as well. As you can see, I am not a BIG guy. I would love to have both in my garage!

You basing the the terms of entry level on the handling ability. I would say entry level is in terms of price. Its the cheapest priced Harley you can buy. Well except for the new 500 and 750's.

Also I skipped all that as I could afford and electra glide so my entry level was a big bagger

I think Justin Bieber is enough to justify an all out war.
