socaln8tv Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Okay, I'll say it. The 48 is ghey. The sporty is a WOMAN's bike. You'd look like an elephant fucking a football on that thing. Keep the Kat. Save you're money. Learn how to ride it and move up.i would love one in pearl white... that and a ninja. eitherway, my feet can touch the ground and i can ride in the style i want, when i feel like it!

SWing'R Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Why not go something more sport touring type like an FZ6? I happen to know they got a couple FZ6R's up there at IP. I love my bike, very comfortable riding position for a sportbike. (one of the main reasons I went with it)I wouldn't get another cruiser, it seems silly to have two bikes the same style,its nice that you have two different styles to choose from right now.

Steve Butters Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 buy that red fz1 at pony....i know shawn was interested in it, so maybe if you buy it first he wont be able to buy it and will realize he never shoulda sold the vmax, and then he will buy a 09 max and redeem himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 thinking about trading in the katana (once fixed) for a 2010 1200 sportster "48" model..... discuss...

Looking at your profile pic, I'd say you qualify for the sporty;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Pony Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Moose- does the sporty come equipped with a "one armed bandit" operating mode? If so it would be right up your alley....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I just really dig the looks of the "48", kinda want one because I wanna have a bunch of harley shirts... which is still better then affliction shirts...Only slightly better. Dont join the costume party. You'd look like an elephant fucking a football on that thing.

That alone makes it not worth what they are asking. Especially when you can get one from a private owner for a better price and not pay the taxes. Nice color tho.

RFM Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I started on a Harley Sportster. No balls. None. I worked like hell to get some. Then opted for a bike that had balls included. Much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see what it'd do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Sportsters are female harleys..lol. Don't do it please. If you just HAVE to have a Harley get the v-rod or any other model than a sportster man.I agree though, if you want a Harley, wait until you can get rid of the C50.

I was just using the information available on the webz.Sure. When I got mine I sat on both a FZ6 and the FZ6R, they had them both at Honda NW. I liked the R cause it was about an inch lower and has a single headlight instead of the dual, for some reason I hate the dual headlights, on any bike. I like the look of a single light much better. I also liked the handlebars, a real bar, not clips.We can get together sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanity pushed me towards the FZ6 since the shop only had the "r" in yellow with the giant superstar on the side and white/pink. Now back to Moose's dilemma... You have a cruiser, so if it was my decision, I'd go adventure/touring or decaf. sport bike like mine, the FZ6r, ER6-N, or Ninja 650r. Just my opinion and we all have those.
