I got a demo ride on one with foreward controls; it felt bad. I mean bad, not baaaaad.

 

On second thought, get the V-rod. That way when someone calls it a girls bike we won't have to read about it in the Sportster forum. [:@]

 

well..its all on what you like.. ride the v-rod and if u like it go for it.. If you take long trips you will be filling up more often that sportster with custom tank.. One of my friends had a sporty just like me and traded it in on a V-rod. He likes his rod but recently he purchased him another sporty.. (still has the rod)... He said he had to get another one. ...

 

If you like it go for it. To me it is flat out Ugly.

 

test ride the V Rod and a few others as long as your mind is not made up, maybe a bagger(Hertiage).

I myself love the Sporty, and would like a touring ride,but haven't decided on what. I have been looking at a Vulcan 1600, the price is right, and I really don't have $19 K to flopp down on another Harley.

Good Luck

My experience so far is the same. I know one guy with one (ex -sales guy, pretty successful) and he tries to get anyone and everyone to ooh and ahh over it. I do accounting and IT for a living (does that make me a professional?) but I bought my Sporty to be something I can ride and work on, and really don't care if people ooh and ahh over it (in fact, that makes me a bit uncomfortable).

A V-rod looks like fun, but I wouldn't want to give up my Sportster, so I guess I'll have to wait for a lottery win.

 

Vrod is an uglycrotch rocket wannabe.

Go for an 07 Dyna Screaming Eagle if the Sportster isn't bad enough. At least that's not a wannabe.

Want a crotch rocket, there are better ones around than a Vrod.

 

Yeah man ... Rent one for a week or two if possible.
