When my wife decided she wanted to get rid of the giant vibrator she was riding ( 01 1200 sporty custom ) All she wanted to look at was another Sporty at first. Well, I talked her into looking at all available bikes with equal performance out there. After riding the America, she bought it the same day. She is a total convert. Hands and feet dont fall asleep. She is like 5'5" and she even said she felt kinda cramped on the sporty. In 2 years she put 5000 miles on the harley, Well, the America has been in the garage for 5 weeks and now has 1000 miles on it with no sign of slowing down. Fyi, other bikes she looked at were the Vstar, and Sabre. Both of which are nice bike in their own right. Just have him go sit on them, test ride them if able. etc. He will pick what he likes. One other selling point on the wifes bike was it was $3000 cheaper than a new 1200 sporty too.
