When I was looking for my bike I test road a 1200 Sporster and then an America. A stock sporty will pull a little better but that's it. The America was smoother, shifts better, handles better, looks better, gets more attention, and has way more cache. After you do a couple of performance mods the America or Speedy will stay with a 1200 sporster. In my mind there is no comparison. Checkout the classifieds and there are hundreds of Sporsters for sale.
