But you'd be able to not get it done faster.It's just a cute little bike. If I can't get it done with 900ccs I doubt another 300 will help much.
Sorry, are we still talking harley?But you'd be able to not get it done faster.
As much as i read about people commenting on sportsters being 'girl' bikes, i have yet to encounter that situation. Or, maybe people just say it when im not around....
Don't take yourself or your motorcycle too seriously.
Life is short, enjoy the ride.
You gotta pay that Harley tax! Bone stock, they ride like a mid 70s Raleigh 10 speed bicycle.The Sportster is a great local cruiser, a bike to ride to Timmies to talk about bikes with your buddies and then ride home. Anything else and you'll likely regret it.
A few of us rode to Auburn, in the Finger Lakes area, for a 3 day gathering of primarily ST1100 / ST1300 people a few years ago. Evening we arrived we met a 40ish year old women who was on a completely stock 883 Sportster and had made the 750 km ride from Sudbury in one day. Her riding partner was on an older BMW RT. They had to stop frequently to fill up the tiny Sportster tank and to tighten bolts to prevent parts from falling off. She looked completely shell shocked and could barely walk, probably hoping someone would steal the bike so she would not have to ride it home.
She wanted to ride with her partner and purchased the Sportster because it looked small and manageable to her and she could flat foot it OK when stopped. She'd never spent more than 30 minutes on it at a time before she set out on the 750 km trip.
