You have to love the Harley-Davidson experience

I started riding again, after a 23 year separation of bike and rider. So I bought 2 metrics and a Sportster 1200 Low. I truly love my Sportster 1200 Low, what a ride.

This scooter cruises and is very easy to maneuver.

The Throttle is tight and very responsive; the gears are made for the fast lan...e.
It’s not overly heavy and is very well balanced; when pulling up to a light you can take your time putting your feet down.
No choke is really cool thanks to the fuel injection.
The turn signals are really convenient and the hazards are easy to engage; the self canceling feature can seem to take a few minutes after completing a turn.
Foot pegs and controls should be moved forward if you plan on longer rides, highway pegs would work if you prefer to keep your foot controls at the factory position.

What a great bike!

My last Harley was a twin cam Heritage Classic Softail. This 1200 Sportster is a whole different animal. The rubber mounted engines on the newer Sportsters have zero vibration, unlike the twin cam on my Heritage. I can ride this bike all day long without riding gloves and no numb hands. The quicknes...s, acceleration and handling of the 1200 low really make my old twin cam Softail seem slow and awkward. This is a real rider's bike for those who enjoy the excitement of quick handling and dicing through the curves. I have no complaints whatsoever about this bike. It is a blast to ride and it's lighter weight and greater power-to-weight ratio make it seem downright fast and nimble, compared to the big cruisers. And who could argue with 42 MPG in the city and 57 MPG on the highway? The 4.5 gallon tank takes you over 250 miles down the highway. What's not to love about this bike? Read Full Review
