Nice looking' Sporty! It'll be fun around town but you'll have to get a trailer for the King so you can pull the Sporty with you to the rally's.

It's a bit to "Mickey Mouse" for my taste.

Why don't you get an early Softail and add your own "nostalgia" pieces?

I agree with Mon on this one. Nothing like a Harley. Pretty much the Rolex of the bike world. Affordable and luxurious but rideable.

Ooooh.... this topic gives me an idea! I have a 2001 Ducatti 748r w/ 17k miles sitting in my dad's garage in Miami. I moved to Boston about 3 months ago, and didn't have time to sell it before I left. Since I'm on the market for a watch, anyone maybe interested in a trade in the Miami area? My dad has the title on the bike and could work the trade.

If so, give me a holler! :)

Me and my sister and dad rode mountain bikes up in, well, the mountains, a lot when I was a kid.... heck, we rode them everywhere, along with a whole "gang" of teen youths from our neighborhood....

But I never made the leap to street bike. My sister did for a bit, then her bike was crashed by a dude. I would still like it, but I'd prefer country roads. Here in Chi-town our street bikers race about in traffic, sometimes on one wheel showing off... that's not for me, I miss the mountain biking.

That is a seriously cool looking bike! I bet that hardtail kicks your butt after 30 minutes around town though.

had a 1200 Sporty for awhile. Changed the front and rear sprockets to make it tolerable on the freeway. Had a S&S Super e carb, and Dyna ignition. Was a real tire burner.

Ah, funny part is I saw this bike a few weeks ago. I passed on it mostly, well all, because of the mid controls they were the deal breaker. I was out at a popular biker spot and saw this red bike parked and chatted up the new owner, he loves it...

neilp · 19 March 2015, 01:43 AM

I'm glad the new owner likes it ... not my cup of tea although I do prefer mid controls. Hard tail bikes are unappealing to me from the practicality point of view, as I like some comfort! I do love Sportsters though and have owned a couple of them - a 1980 Ironhead and a 1998 XL1200S. Nice Road King by the way! My current ride is a 2008 FXD. I used to be a mechanic many years ago so I have a hard time not fiddling with bikes, so it's not quite stock now... 103ci, cams, etc...
