Awesome scoot! Nice paint. Riding season is around the corner

The rubber mounted Sporties are a nice ride. You can turn these bikes into a touring bagger or strip and bob it out. Like the Fatboy very versatile. This 1200cc engine on the smaller bike just screams. I have cleaned the clocks of a few friends that have Dynas. Now the Screaming eagle 103" Fatboy I'd be afraid of

Yeah, the Sporty has always been the most nimble and fastest of the Harleys, well at least until they purchased Buell. As far as Harleys go, the Sporster is a great bang-for-the-buck.

I'm in Michigan, so riding season has just begun. Average high temps around the mid 60's. I'll definitely be going out today. If I had to guess, it looks like you may be in California. If so, I'd imagine your riding season is much longer than mine.

Mine is an ST4s - 4 valves, dry clutch, loud pipes, & love it. The only Monster I'd really be interested in is the new S4Rs. There are a lot of Harley's around where I live and I've seen more than a few that I could happily go cruising around on. I had a Triumph cruiser before and liked having that. A lot of Harley guys would strike up a conversation because they were intersted in the bike.
