Take on Sportster

[MotoF150]

I speak the truth, I say the things that everybody is afraid to say, I feel im helping people by telling them the real facts, im saving people from wasting their hard earned money on a over-rated expensive bike they will regret and hate later. I have no pride, but I can understand human pride thinking the bike you own is the best, I can understand you guys only speak about the good things of the bike you own, but ur quiet about the bad things. I can understand. Im upset with the bike I own, I feel the money I spent on my bike is the same as flushing that money down the toilet and I believe im helping my fellow man by telling him this and not making the same mistake I made.

Moto, we're full up on crazy here. Why don't you go sell some to one of your other forums you like to harass.

I'm a girl and I ride a sportster, so mine is a girls bike. I have an 06 883c, and it's been a great bike so far. If the 1200 low feels right, then I'd say go for it.

I know a girl who rides a Gixxer 750.

Everyone knows gixxers are girls bikes! Just look at there color selection.

One of my instructors at the Richmond, Virginia MSF course was a young lady who raced metric litre bikes. There is no such thing as a "girl's bike" IMO.

Want to check out a real sweet Sportie? They have the Nightster, which is awesome! It is very minimalist, very little chrome, narrow and beautiful! The seat height is 25.8", which for me at 5'8" is great. It sells for about $10,500, which is about $1500 more or so than a similar-sized Japanese bike. For MotoF, that is a couple of months pay flipping burgers, but for most middle-aged people, it's no big deal.

BTW, the Sportster is a hot bike.

Especially that Nightster.

I really like the Nightster, except it doesn't have a tach or anyting like the 1200R. I also don't like the low height... I'm sure it looks nice for smaller people, but I like a little ground clearance.
