Interesting comparison - as we have BOTH of the bikes you're considering . See Photobucket below , and there's the Sporty .
Wife says if she had to do it again , she'd get an America . The 1200's a blast to ride , torque is amazing , but it is a shaker , and a hundred miles or so requires a short decompression . I'm 6'0" , and the HD is too small and short for me . Get the Triumph .
