How long you been ridin'? I'll be 54 in a few weeks, and just bought my 1st Harley this past May, but I've been riding for about 6 yrs now.
If this'll be your 1st bike (not just your 1st Harley) I can tell you what I'd have done, knowing what I know now.

I'm 50, just purchased my first street bike end of August (30 yrs dirt background) stand @ 5' 8" and 175 lbs. My 2008 1200 Sporty fits me like a glove & wasn't too hard on the bank account either. It's a blast to ride (took some gettin used to though), I use it to go back & forth to work, about 40 - 45 mpg - if it ain't rainin' I'm ridin'. Welcome from Texas and ride safe.
