Fellow Albertan here and considering an '05 Custom Sporty for my better half. Practically brand new (less than 5,000 kms). What kinda coin did she have to shell out so I can compare? The guy selling who is selling his wife's old bike is asking close to 8 G's.
Congrats to your wife for both her retirement and her new ride. Let her know that I said she has a good looking scoot. I am not Canadian but have served with some great Canadians. I thank her for her service.
I started out on a sporty...thought the bike was huge when I first started....then went to a Heritage...night and day difference although by looking at Johansson's signature, they look about the same size!
Trust me... Big difference between sizes, it just appears close to the same size in the pic because the Sporty is in the foreground.
Thank your wifey on her military service !. Glad she decided to buy a Sporty and ride with ya.
Still have my bad *** '02 Sporty XL1200 Mild Custom with 240 Wide Tire Kit. 25 miles is what it'd last me cuz I'm SO spoiled after riding my '09 Ultra Classic.
