Harley or sport bike?
Harley or sport bike?
I am trying to decide on which to buy. I like both and would be happy with either!
Lets hear what are pro's and con's of buying a harley vs buying a sport bike!
Specifically harley's sportster models and for the sport bike I like the R1

Then flip a coin. A decision like this shouldn't be helped along by other people…

Sportbikes are extremely fast, light, turn very well, so if you like the performance aspect sportbike is the way to go. If you are looking at a sportster 883/1200 you are looking at bikes that have around 45-65hp. An R1 is almost 3 times that and 100+ lbs ligher.

The cruiser works to impress Harley owners and people that know little or nothing about motorycycles. Its beautiful, loud and chrome.
The Sport bike impresses me and real motorcyclists. I dont feel like a poser on my ST1100. I feel like a real motorcyclist.
So, buy one of each, rather than the Harley , get a Jap Cruiser for half the money and twice the reliability.

Your senses should tell you, not any of us.
Now, I'll get my laughs reading the rest.

slow cruising on mostly straight roads on an ill handling low horse power bike buy the Harley (and owing a Harley does not make you a bad a## )
If you want great brakes, top performance, great handling for the back roads get the sport bike or a naked bike
no i do not have any thing against Harley-Davidson i have owned 2
both were good bikes but they just don't work for my riding type

If the former, get a sport bike. If the latter, get a harley. A sport bike, is for those who like to ride on the edge. A harley, is for those who like to just ride and look good doing it. A lot of Harley riders, have a sport bike as a 2nd bike. For zipping around town, for fun or running small errands. They ride the Harley, for everything else.
The Harley community as a whole, does more stuff than all of the metrics do combined. At just about every event you go to, you will find more Harley's than any other bike, combined. The only other bike that comes close, is the Honda Goldwing riders. Other than the Harley only clubs, Harley riders don't hold Harley only events, everyone is welcome.
In the end it's like this, do you want something you can play with. Or something you can ride. By the way, getting a Harley. Will not get you street whatever.
