Trading 1200RT for Sportster, tell me your thoughts.

Every since I got an RT all I can wear is Transition 2 jackets and a helmet....where is the culture in this?



It's hip to be square...

Hardlies are safer because they are louder

Go ahead and pick on those of us that still have Harleys. How about; the reason so many BMW owners camp is because after buying the BMW and all the fancy clothing they cannot afford a comfortable hotel room.

There may be some truth to that. I saw this last summer.

The only thing missing is grandma on her rocker!!
The Clampets move to Beverly hills on a BMW!!!
I finally figured out what the "LT" stands for, "Light Truck" !!

I had a HD 883 Sportster and sold it to buy my GS. The Sportster was a great bike for riding around town, but was terrible on the highway. I understand that changing the front springs and rear shocks helps the handling somewhat, but the Sportster will never be a good road bike.

Hard to improve on 1/2 inch of rear shock travel! ;-)

Harley Davison hold their value...

harley has no value. I would rather ride a Schwinn

Harlles hold their looks

I always like the idea of growing a handlebar mustache and now I have the perfect excuse to grow one much like Paul Sr. From OCC.

Dat be a Fu Manchu not a handlebar... Geeze! BTW: I find the 883 too powerful and suggest a Honda Z50.

O.K. I'm a newbie here, but that doesn't change the fact that this post is one of the funniest I've seen anywhere! After 16 yrs. on 4 different H D's, I test rode an '06 RT, rode it about 4 miles, and purchased it, all in the same day. Whats the difference? Can you figure out the difference between a 1 ton dualie and a 'Vette? I learned ther
e is more to riding a motorcycle than chrome & noise & leather. All in one day!!!

Officer - I know nothing, and I can prove it!

Maybe because after a long day riding on a BMW, we don't NEED a comfortable hotel room??????

Harlys hold their vibration consistently...

Getting a Sportster is hands down the best way to convert gasoline into noise without that side effect called Horse Power.

+1 A Sportster is also a good excuse to put more miles on your trailer & pickemuptruck.
