Harley shares Honda and Yamaha's love for aftermarket goodies too - H-D's version, Screaming Eagle, offers literally a 101 options for the Sportster, either performance or comfort, dress up or dress down - your call. As a fully-fledged Harley member you also personally get to dress up in all sorts of neato gear, from retro racer Dude, or if it's your bag, lots of clothing verging on the Village People in style.

Girlies love them too because regardless of what Harley Davidson you ride, you're perceived to have your finances in order - CA girls at their best (j/k).

OK, so I've confessed that I used to own one of these bikes - my revisit was everything I remembered and some. It even satisfied my hooliganistic tendencies by wheelie-ing like a mad thing and I was very reluctant to let her go. I kept this tucked away in my garage for nearly two months before the Harley reps found me.

For the real world, the bike is very substantial, favors metal over plastic and solid technology over fly-by-night techno-wizardry. Your neighbors will love you, it'll look good in your garage, as said it's extremely fun to ride and will probably look good for another 46 years… unlike Rodney Dangerfield.
