What are the pros and cons of owning and operating a HD Sportster? Last time I rode one it was a 1965 XLCH circa 1971. After that I had a Norton 750 Commando (fun bike!). Now in retirement I am thinking I need something other than full bodied Impalas to have a little fun with. No long trips, just a quick rural jaunt to the river and back, then put her back in the barn kinda thing. Maybe not, as I swore 40 years ago I would never ride a street bike again (got hit by a little old school teacher on the Norton). I did ride off road into the 80s but have been dormant since then.
I get it that us big guys (I'm 6'5" and about 240) should like big HDs and that Sportsters have an "entry level" or maybe even "chick bike" aura. Don't care about that. It'd be just me and a quick local run once in a while...
What say you in terms of advise?
Thanks in advance, TomK
