Just don't go out and buy all the Fancy Dress gear to go with it. Far to many Sunday morning Hells Angels who think they're in an episode of Orange County Choppers as it is.

Never ridden one myself but wouldn't mind trying one.
I think the '48' would be my choice

Better than a car anyway!

After having had a new one, be ready to change all the chrome as it peels off, different way of riding, you cannot compare it to a Z though.
What size engine is it ?. :D

I like that...I would stick some 18" apes on it..single seat...slash the pipes..not my bike though
:D
The bikes don't always fit the stereotype rider
I had a Blade, R1 and a 72 ironhead bobber at the same time.....liked them all

I owned an 883 sportster and really enjoyed.It was a great bike for plonking around on and I liked the black engine and orange bodywork.

I have owned lots of vintage bikes and viewed in that context these bikes are a lot of fun.

Personally I don't subscribe to the Harley lifestyle thing,each to their own but what I will say is these bikes are very popular and when I came to sell I had buyers beating the door down! Enjoy. :D
