My first Harley was a Sportster. I loved that bike! Wish I still had it, it pretty much did everything I wanted. I got the Street Glide to get a few more creature comforts. I love these as well. But I do agree that a Sporty may be a bit top heavy to start learning on. But people ride what they want. I agree with you Moldy.... people need to learn braking techniques. That is how I dropped my bikes, due to that last second stop (not an emergency, just that final grip on the front brake) a bit of loose gravel and a not straight front wheel. And all my bikes have had engine guards, the last two also had bag guards.
Good luck to Tanya (like Tucker) and her training and first ride.
