Davidson as a show bike.? I own 2 Japanese Bikes I plan on keeping, a sport bike and a cruiser, that I plan on riding on long, comfortable road trips.
I want to buy a Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster, JUST as a show bike, as a bike I can show off, impress other HD Riders and for short road trips. I am not planning much miles on it
My Question:
Should I spend big money on a newer model Sportster, or should I find the cheapest one I can find?
I hate vibration, what year did the Sportster come out with the rubber engine mounts?
Did the rubber engine mounts correct the vibration issue, or do the new model Sportsters sill have vibration?
PLEASE I just want a simple answer, not a personal insult!
rangerclaude, I have been riding bikes for a long time, in the past I did ride a 1200 HD Sportster, IT DID NOT IMPRESS ME, it was about equal in power as a Yamaha 650 V Star,
and I can ride ANY BIKE better than you and the majority of riders out there, I show people up all the time by showing them I can ride the bike they own better than they could ride it!, Just a few weeks ago I rode a friends V Strom 650 and i was riding wheelies on it and he said "dude! I never knew that bike could do a wheelie"
I get fustrated getting behind another rider on a curvey highway and watching him slow down for a curve thinking to myself "what a loser, I can ride that bike better than him"
so you talk about taking curves at 60 -70 mph with a harley, well I can do it at 90 mph on the same bike, IF it was capable of going that fast!
