My husband has always been a rider, so I took my Rider's Edge course so that I could ride with him. When I graduated, he started taking me shopping!! I knew that if I didn't get a bike, I would spend the rest of my free time in motorcycle shops. I picked the Harley Sportster because of the mystique first of all. There is something about riding a Harley. Also, there is the resale value. I figured that if I didn't like having my own bike, I could always sell a Harley and it would keep it's value as opposed to other brands of motorcycles. The Sportster is a lighter bike so I had no problem balancing it when I stopped. I can reach the ground without any trouble, and I can be comfortable holding the handle bars. It has a lot of power, and I sure do love it!
Harley-Davidson XL Sportster 883L - 2005 Motorcycle is recommended by Evelyn
The Harley Sportster is a bit smaller bike so it is easier to handle. My husband has both a 1999 and a 2005 Sporty. I am still bound to the back seat but, will one day take the coarse and ride away on one of them.
