...Sportster 1200C w/ 5K miles? I test drove the guys Harley Davidson Sportster 1200C and was shocked how much it vibrated! My TL1000R is Super Smooth of a ride compared to the 1200C Sportster. Not to mention double the horsepower. Only reason I'm considering it is because I'm bored and want a new toy. I hear HD require lots of maintenance compared to my TL. Thanks everyone.
I have a wife and two kids. I was thinking about the city cruising because one day highway racing will catchup to me. This bike is crazy fast (Which I love!) I'm 31 thinking I should slow it down a little. Thanks!
Geez man, there is always one A$$hole everytime I ask a question. The reason I brought up my family is that when I hop on a crotch rocket I have more of a tendancy to twist that throttle and before I know it I'm doing 130+; and that isn't good since I'm the bread winner, father, husband!. The Sportster 1200 will take half a day to reach 100mph. Therefore I'd be less likely to be a speed demon or at least that is what I'm thinking. By the time I reach 70 I have to slow down because a red light or some sh!t. At first I wasn't thrilled with the vibration; but when I got home I wanted to ride it again and couldn't stop thinking about it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets bored with their toys and wants something new. Main reason I was asking was to try and reach some people who had experience with Harley's & crotch rockets.. forget it; I hate explaining myself because someone who just hopped off his sister learned how to use the internet; You're a tool
Everyone else who answered; Thanks! I truely appreciate your opinions! Even Polar bear had 1 good point.
