Thanks dmillikan,
That's it!!! I've tried to figure out what a Sportster reminded me of. I had a '76 Sporty and knew it reminded me of some animal. I wanted it to look like a majestic fierce hunter, but I never considered the hyena (probably no majesty). Today, when I hear someone talk about getting a Sportster, I suggest going to a hardware store and sitting on their 1 gallon paint can shaker for a few minutes.
JC, Your brother should get what feels good in his hands, like a camera or a firearm. They're all good these days, so he'll be getting a good bike.
