I sold my Harley before I killed myself on it! LOL Was fun to ride though.

If you’re going to kill yourself on a bike, a Sportster is right up at the top of the list of bikes that’ll gladly help you so so.

They haven’t changed much in 50 years, and still give you the chance to have a GREAT big engine in a tiny little bike. They were never fast from the factory, but Harley would gladly sell you everything you need to turn a fun bike into a holy terror. A 1250cc Sportster is the ONLY bike that has ever tried its level best to kill me graveyard dead, all while you having a stupid fun time doing so.

They corner better than any American bike ever has, and around town, they have got to be the most fun motorcycle ever built.

if a Sportster could have as good of highway manners as it does city manners, I’d own one.

My ancient Springer is an 80 year old anachronism.
