Sportsters Suck Ass.... There is no way I would give up the Honda for a Sportster they are way too top heavy, ride like shit, handle like shit, oh and have that horrible HD engineering. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of the Hardley shit. You would be much happier with doing some upgrades to your Honda or looking for a bigger one. I know several people with newer Harldeys that are regretting the purchase and some others that traded their Hardley in for a "Jap" cruiser and are much happier. If you really truly do want a Hardley do yourself a favor and buy something other than a Sportster.
