I'm 18 and I'm looking into buying my first bike. I've never even ridden one but i ride 4 wheelers all the time. When I was little my dad had a 1980 FLT. Plus they also had the 2 cyl john deere tractors. Needless to say I love the sound. My friend just bought a new softail crossbones and he wants someone to ride w/so he said he'd loan me 4k to get a bike. I found a couple sportsters at a local bike shop in that price range. I'm not a big person ( 6' 135lbs) so there's absolutley no way i could handle anything bigger. One is a 1200 the other is an 883 bored out to a 1200. The guy i farm for has a harley too, so i'm dead set on a harley. Anyone info on what you think about what i should do would be awesome! thanks
 
I think you need to change your ways. You may be a farm boy, but there's no reason you should be seen as a yokel. Buy a dual sport bike. Leave the Harleys to the chimps.
 
Yea a snortster is good bike. Used ya say? Well yer a farm boy so i spose ya know a bit about machinery but get some type of manual thrown in on the deal. One word about your financing arrangement. Loans from friends can become just a loan, no friend anymore. Know what your gettin' into and good luck.
