AIM is still the best rag for me but in the Jan. issue of Cycle World, I saw it at the super market, is a great article or shoot out between the Sportster,Bonneville and GT1000. They give credit where credit is due and praise the Sportster for what she is, "The Roadster is not a remake of the real thing, it IS the thing, an evolution of the original that's been built by the same company non-stop for 51 years". It's a good article and it's always good to hear good words spoken about the Sportster. The Sportster came out on top.

Thanks for sharing about how sportsters are respected in the overall viewpoint of other motorcycle rags and not just Harley related rags. You will see more and more of this to come.

Thanks for the info, Ill have to look it up. Im a huge sportster fan, with a 2004xlc (88ci), and a 1973 1000cc both in my stable. I know of the wide variety of sperties out there and would like to hear what other ride. Although I love riding other style of harleys, there is no thrill as taking a sporty though a winding canyon road.

I sure like mine. It is very simple to work on for most anyone with a modicum of wrenching knowledge/skill. The Manual makes it pretty plainforward for most of us. It is also a hell of a lot of fun to ride. Love the BT's as well.
